In Cold Blood

Jackie Mittoo

Red Vinyl

Streetdate 4.17.26

Originally released in 1978, ‘In Cold Blood’ showcases the Keyboard King with a killer selection of riddims provided by the Aggrovators. ‘In Cold Blood’ captures the Bunny Lee supreme team at the height of their revolutionary powers, all tracks feature Sly & Robbie, Tommy McCook, and Bobby Ellis superbly blending with Jackie Mittoo and Winston Wright’s mighty organ workouts. Mittoo’s contribution to reggae music is inestimable, both as a musician and arranger; he created innumerable bass lines, melodies and arrangements that have driven the music for decades. The album features the hits 'Sky Jack King’ and ‘Earthquake', a long-unavailable classic set produced by Bunny Lee and mixed by King Tubby. Newly remastered with liner notes and rare images.
