Description

[Machine Translation] Jackie Mittoo, one of the most important artists in reggae history and a founding member of the Skatalites along with Don Drummond and Roland Alphonso, is extremely rare, and his original releases on his own label fetch high prices at overseas auctions. Jackie Mittoo's rarest album is probably "Stepping Tiger" released in 1979 (also unCDed), but this is the next rarest album. The content of this album is really simple: orthodox roots reggae tracks with Jackie's keyboards and a female chorus. All 10 tracks are reggae instrumental numbers. For example, the first track, "Casa Nova," is the same track as the first track on the "Macka Fat" album released on Studio One. However, the keyboard melody and arrangement are completely different, and it is surprising how much the same rhythm can change the image of the song. Other nice tracks such as "Gimme Little Sunshine" (track 3) and "I Hear You Madagascar" (track 6) are also featured on the album, with the heavy reggae rhythm and Jackie's unique keyboards matching perfectly. A masterpiece dedicated to all reggae fans is finally available as an official product.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

The Money Makers / ジャッキー・ミットゥ

レゲエ史上の最重要アーティストの一人で、ドン・ドラモンドやローランド・アルフォンソらと並ぶスカタライツの創設メンバーでもあるジャッキー・ミットゥが自身レーベルからリリースされたオリジナル盤は極めて珍しく、海外オークションなどでは高額で取引されている。ジャッキー・ミットゥの最もレアなアルバムは、おそらく79年にリリースされた『Stepping Tiger』(やはり未CD化)だろうと言われているが、本作はその次くらいにレアなアルバムで、内容はと言うと、オーソドックスなルーツ・レゲエのトラックに、ジャッキーのキーボードと女性コーラスが絡むという実にシンプルな作り。全10曲全てがレゲエ・インスト・ナンバー。例えば1曲目の「Casa Nova」はスタジオ・ワンからリリースされたアルバム『Macka Fat』の1曲目と同じトラックを使用。しかしキーボードのメロディやアレンジはまったく別の曲で、同じリズムでこんなにイメージを変えることが出来るのかとびっくり。その他にも、3曲目の「Gimme Little Sunshine」や、6曲目の「I Hear You Madagascar」などのように、へヴィなレゲエのリズムとユニークなジャッキーのキーボードが絶妙にマッチしたナイス・トラックが目白押し。全てのレゲエ・ファンに捧げたい名盤がついに正規商品として登場。
