Yes 6anbatte, when I look at the picture of all that vinyl I realise that I am a very sick man, I need help.
Is there a rehab centre for vinyl addicts?
No one dub it like Mitto.

I don't think a genuine reggae fan can ever hear too much of Jackie Mittoo's work.

I would like to 'upgrade' all my Mittoo to original press. Problem is:
1 x Mitto original press = 10 x Crucial 12inch 45s
However, I have just sold a property and hopefully if all goes smoothly I should have a few pounds to spend on reggae in the Spring. If that goes to plan, I will be shopping for Mitto Original pressings.
6anbatte:
This is the rehab centre? Oh dear, that's bad news because this place has fueled my habit big stylee!
Sometimes I fool myself into thinking my collection is almost nearing completion, and then I do a few front page refreshes and find 10 - 20 - 100 records that look so inviting! Aaaaargh!
When I play the front page artwork refresh game for too long I start to go mad with desire for the amazing amount of great vinyl out there that still eludes me.

Hi Leggo Rocker
You make that sound as if it's a bad thing!
Did you get the liner notes OK? Nice mention in there for Jackie's "menacing keyboard".

Re: No one dub it like Mittoo.
The Blood and Fire Jackie Mittoo CD *Champion in the Arena* is a well put together compilation that should not be overlooked, especially if you can get it at a knockdown price.

Re: No one dub it like Mitto.
Go tthe liner notes 6anbatte, thanks. No time to read them yet as it hasn't been the smoothest of days!
Back home now, empty challice
but at least turntables are spinning a cool reggae vibe so time to relax.
Collecting records is a double edged sword.
On the positive there's the absolute pleasure of receiving new stuff, cleaning it pon me Moth RCM (which I find strangly meditational) and then spinning them pon the Sonys.
And the great feeling when I sit in my room looking at the wonderful library of sound I have somehow managed to put together in quite a short time.
I love to look at the labels and covers as I listen to them. I'm an artistic person (although not a musician sadly) so I really appreceate them. JA labels especially do it for me.
On the negative side there's the frustration of the higher and higher prices stopping me from getting stuff I really would like to have and listen to.
And there's the sinking feeling when I realise I am spending WAY more than I can afford. (Like a true addict I am selling anything I can get my hands on to feed the habit - although I haven't resorted to robbing and looting ... yet)
I'm not a rich man by UK standards, not at all. How I wish I could just buy what I wanted without worrying how I am subsequently going to manage to pay all my other bills!
Maybe I need to finish my novel and get it into the best seller list. Then i simply would NEVER get beaten in an eBay bid war again!
In balance it isn't such a bad habit, as unlike a drug addict, I can at least sell the stuff I've blown all my money on, because it sits here in my room, it hasn't gone up int he smoke of a crack pipe or something!

Re: No one dub it like Mitto.
Given that today is his birthday, I guess we should all get out our Mittoo tracks and play them loud to celebrate this man's prodigious talent.
Would the RA massive mind if I declare today to be officially:
MITTOO DAY
