专辑介绍
by Richie Unterberger
Though the title might be taken to mean otherwise, this is not a live album, but a collection of early Mittoo solo sides, all of them instrumental. Even by reggae albums' oft-shoddy standards, the level of crudeness on the packaging is laughable, even insulting: the songs are listed totally out of order, &Norwegian Wood& isn't even on the sleeve at all, 12 tracks are listed although 14 play, no songwriting credits are given, and the artist's name is misspelled &Jackie Mitto& on the back cover. But guess what? It doesn't really matter, because it's still mighty fun rock-steady, paced by the uniquely effervescent tone of Mittoo's organ, though his style is heavily influenced by Booker T. Jones of Booker T. & the MGs. Too, the repertoire is about half covers of contemporary pop-rock and soul hits from outside of Jamaica, including such unlikely suspects as not just &Norwegian Wood,& but also &Winchester Cathedral,& the Bee Gees' &Massachusetts,& &Whiter Shade of Pale,& and &Something Stupid& (in a more R&B vein, there's also a good version of the Bar-Kays' &Soul Finger&). No matter whether this was recorded &in London& or not -- the humid sound of Jamaica just oozes out of these grooves, and it's a perfect complement to a hot and heavy night, in both the meteorological and emotional meanings of that description.
