Product description

Jackie Mittoo's "Showcase" is a vibrant and dynamic album that encapsulates the essence of reggae, dub, and roots rocksteady, released in 1980 under Gorgon Music and VPAL Music. This collection of nine tracks, spanning a concise 38 minutes, is a testament to Mittoo's innovative and funky talents, making it a standout piece in his discography.

The album kicks off with "Peace Treaty," setting the tone for a journey through Mittoo's musical prowess. Tracks like "North of the Sun" and "Jumping Jack" showcase his ability to blend genres seamlessly, while "Super Charge" and "Champion of the Arena" highlight his energetic and infectious rhythms. The album also features deeper, more introspective cuts like "Darker Song" and "Drum Song," demonstrating Mittoo's versatility and depth as an artist.

Recorded at Jamaica Recording Studio and published by Jamrec Music, "Showcase" is a collaboration that brings together the best of reggae, dub, and soul jazz. The album's extended tracks, such as "The Sniper," offer a rich, immersive listening experience that underscores Mittoo's innovative approach to music.

For fans of reggae and those looking to explore the genre's roots, "Showcase" is a must-listen. It's a celebration of Jackie Mittoo's contributions to the genre, capturing his unique style and the collaborative spirit of the Studio One label. Whether you're a seasoned reggae enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a compelling and enjoyable journey through the sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

This is a 2021 Reissue released as a LP.

    Does anyone happen to know the release date for the Canadian edition? Was it also in 1978, or did it come out later?

  • Jackie's Personal Label Venture

    5 out of 5 stars
    RoovvjelkirMarch 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Based on various sources, I'm pretty sure Turn Table records was Jackie's personal label, and he put out this record himself under his own label in the US while he was in New York. It was still pressed along with the others in Canada, though. Maybe it was his way of trying to handle his own distribution. There are only a few releases on this label, including the 7" from this album that's already been submitted, and a single from a guy he used to jam with sometimes in New York back then.

About Jackie Mittoo

Jackie Mittoo, born Donat Roy Mittoo on March 3, 1948, in Brown's Town, Jamaica, was a keyboard virtuoso and a true legend of reggae. As a founding member of the iconic Skatalites and an extraordinarily prolific songwriter, Mittoo's music transcends the boundaries of reggae, blending elements of soul, funk, gospel, and R&B. His eclectic sounds and instrumental prowess are showcased in tracks like "Atom Sounds" and "Big Bad Organ," offering a rich tapestry of rocksteady, dub, roots reggae, ska, and soul jazz. Mittoo's legacy continues to inspire, with compilations like "Reggae Magic" and "Best of Jackie Mittoo" capturing his timeless contributions to music. His passing on December 16, 1990, in Toronto, Canada, left a void in the music world, but his extraordinary body of work endures, inviting listeners to explore the depths of his genre-defying artistry.
