Cocaine In My Brain

Dillinger · 1977
Recording

Recorded in 1976 at Channel One Recording Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, during the CB 200 sessions. The track was produced by Joseph "Jo Jo" Hoo Kim, with Dillinger and Channel One musicians including Trinity associated with the release. The single was Dillinger’s international breakthrough and the defining song from CB 200. It reached number 1 in the Netherlands and also became a major hit in Belgium and Germany. It remains Dillinger’s signature record and has been repeatedly reissued and compiled on later anthologies. The song has also been covered and referenced by later artists, helping keep it in circulation beyond its original run.
