Well, you can't get to much more Roots than this folks !!! Jackie Mittoo is a pioneer of the instrumental roots scene with his electric organ and keyboard skills unmatched by any in the spectrum of reggae. This disc is a 20 track greatest hit type of set that features many classic rhythms with Mittoo taking over for what would be the vocalist. Mostly instrumental with very little dub or vocals on the whole CD. The production company is Sonic Sounds, witch I am not too familiar with, but it a low budget offering with no liner notes. Just Jackie posing for a back alley jam session on a trash can - his facial expression is priceless. It might be a little hard to find these days, but try your luck, it should be worth the effort if you find it. My favorites on this disc are overshadowed by the fact its a solid listen from track #1 all the way through to track #20. It's nice to let it roll if you've got folks over and the conversation at the pad is paramount
, great tunes to relax to. Also great tunes to drive to on a crisp and sunny winter day. Unfortunately, I can't find the date this disc was pressed, but it seems that the material is mostly from the 1970's, like the bulk of his work. Not exactly a lightweight dude !!
