Wayne McGhie [2023] - Love Is The Answer (with RAM) [Axe Records]


A digital (and CD) reissue of a single originally released in 1972 on Axe imprint Tuesday by Wayne McGhie but originally released under the name Ram. 

McGhie was a Jamaican-Canadian singer/songwriter born in Montego Bay. He only released a handful of singles all on different labels from the late 60s to late 70s, although his name does crop up on writers credits on several others.

He recorded just one album, "Wayne McGhie & The Sounds Of Joy", in 1970 released on a budget label, Birchmont which was owned by Quality Records. It's half and half original songs and covers and seems to be quite rare and sells for big bucks. There is only one listed on Discogs with an asking price of €2,000 (£1,750), however, only  a few years ago they were selling consistently for £10 so, we would imagine some scene or other has discovered something on it which is now in-demand? Having said that the album has been reissued (by Light In The Attic in 2004) so Discogs may have inadvertently included reissues in their prices..

The A side "Love Is The Answer" is an early 70s funk number, but it is the B side "The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)" that may be more of interest. Only one original has sold on Discogs in 2018 for £156 but it has been reissued on vinyl twice, by Light In The Attic 2006 and Tramp in 2017.
