Dillinger
Cb 200
By the 1970s Reggae had spread from Jamaica and become an international phenomena. Enter Dillinger, who rose up with the
El Paso Sound System as part of the second generation of Jamaican toasters. His name came from American gangster John
Dillinger at the suggestion of none other than Lee Perry (who
produced his first album). A deal with Island Records followed, with sessions happening at Channel One Studios with
Joseph ""Jo Jo"" Hoo Kim producing. Recording at Channel One in mid-70s meant Dillinger and Jo Jo were tapping into an
immense talent pool in the form of The Revolutionaries, the studio's in-house band. CB 200 features contributions from
Earl "Chinna" Smith, Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Ansel Collins, Sly Dunbar, and Tommy McCook among others. The release
also brought forth
the career defining cut "Cokane In My Brain", a hit record on an international basis. Despite the success of CB 200 and
"Cokane In My Brain" the release has remained out of print in all formats since the mid-1980s. Get On Down is about to
change that, with their vinyl reissue of this too often overlooked
Reggae masterpiece.
