LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl. Dillinger one of the most consistently successful DJs to come out of Jamaica, fondly remembered for his massive Cocaine In My Brain hit from the great CB200 album and the later reworked Marijuana In My Brain which gave Dillinger crossover hits in both England and Europe. But the versatile DJ has many more strings to his bow. Dillinger (born. Lester Bullocks,1953 Kingston, Jamaica) began his musical venture around 1971, working as a DJ to Sound Systems run byPrince Jackie and El Brasso. 1974 saw his first vinyl release in the form of Freshly for Producer Yabby U and in 1975 he came with the great Brace A Boy for the young Mr Augustus Pablo. But his first album release was through Coxsone Dodds Studio One setup, where he let Dillinger fire some vocals over classic Rocksteady rhythms. It took the form of Ready Natty Dreadie. It was his time at Joseph Jo Jo Hookims Channel One Studio that produced his second album set (a crossover release and fore mentioned) the timeless 1976 classic CB 200. It contained three big singles in Plantation Heights, Cocaine In My Brain and Crank Face. The reworked Marijuana In My Brain even became a No 1 hit in Holland in 1979. Kingston Sounds have taken our set of tunes from his classic 70s period when Mr Dillinger could do no wrong. Alongside the big Cocaine and Marijuana hits the great opening track Love Is All I Bring sees him working over Alton Ellis Still In Love With You which Itself turned into 3 Piece Suite. Money Alone Is Not All where he works over Barry Browns Mr Money Man, Hear and Deaf working over Johnny Clarkes Nobodies Business. King Pharaoh Was A Baldhead has him working Frankie Jones Jesse Black cut. Concubine reworks the Mighty Diamonds\’ Mother Winney and Time So Hard sees Dillinger telling it like it is over Ronnie Davis original Time So Hard cut, empathizing the points in fine style. A classic set of tunes all Killer No Filler from the master of rhyme himself.
