JACKIE MITTOO Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Many reggae lovers have declared this one Jackie Mittoo's most consistent album - it features a superb mix of rhythms that are all enhanced by some inspired keyboard additions. This album was originally released back in the early 70s and features a dozen smooth, sultry sounds. While vintage reggae albums often mix recording eras, the tracks here evoke the essence of classic rocksteady - some of the grooves have a trance-like quality, hinting at the forthcoming dub era, but all of them capture the rich, immersive sound of that time in some style. A real treat.
