Lt. Stitchie - Wear Yu Size


Surprisingly, no-one has ever titled a Lieutenant Stitchie album after his early 45, "Story Time", for it sums up what his records are all about. He is nothing if not a storyteller, usually a very funny one, with some perceptive insights into ghetto life. The humorous "Wear Yu Size" and "Broad Hips" were the major hits, but tracks like "The Wedding", "Great Ambition" and "The Visit" are accomplished pieces of reportage.
