Limited edition CD reissue Echo Beach 1996 with bonus tracks
"Little Annie - aka Annie Anxiety, aka Annie Bandez O'Connor - who survived her teenage angst and matured into a smokey contralto, has been "real" ever since. She is an adventuress, chanteuse/lyricist, ordained minister, high school drop out, juvenile delinguint, self taught painter, and multi-media artist and post modern cabaret queen with a long, illustrious and eclectic recording career who had defied catagorization, limitation, restrictions and sometimes the law. Her solo LPs and numerous collaborations (with Wolfgang Press, Crass, the ON-U Sounds stable, Paul Oakenfold, Kid Congo Powers, Current 93, Nurse with Wound, the late Bim Sherman, Coil, Fini Tribe, Collapsed Lung, Christophe Heeman, and many fine others) span the spectrum from reggae & hip hop to torch and the avant garde".

"Outlandish diva of post-punk-dub Annie Anxiety (aka Little Annie) put together a fierce lineup of On-U Sound stars, including Tackhead's Doug Wimbish on bass, remixer Skip McDonald, and African Head Charge percussionist Bonjo I. Kishi Yamamoto provided a bed of keyboards and sequenced rhythm tracks, resulting in an unprecedented modern dub album. Considerably more upbeat than her debut while maintaining the sinister edge that defines her spoken word work, the album [Jackamo] features the outstanding As I Lie in Your Arms and the Marvin Gaye tribute One Mourning. Other essential cuts are Chasing the Dragon Down Broadway and the roots-inspired Rise, which has been the subject of numerous dub remixes appearing on the limited CD reissue on Echo Beach".
