Charly Records presents DILLINGER COCAINE IN MY BRAIN “Cocaine In My Brain” (aka “Cokane In My Brain”) is Dillinger’s most successful single from 1976. The now iconic song was an international club hit reaching No.1 in the Netherlands, No.2 in Belgium and No.35 in Germany. DILLINGER was born Lester Randal Bullock in Kingston, Jamaica in 1953 and, as an aspiring young musician was heavily influenced by Dennis Alcapone, even performing as a DJ under the name ‘Dennis Alcapone Jr’. His first break, and single – “Dub Organizer” – came in 1974 under ther guidance of Lee “Scratch” Perry who also instigated Bullock’s name change to Dillinger, after the notorious American gangster John Dillinger. After a few false starts Dillinger scored a succession of modest hits in 1975 with “Freshly”, Brace a Boy”, “Killer Man Jaro” and “CB 200”, the title track from his most successful album for Island Records. It was ‘CB 200’ that spawned the hit single “Cocaine In My Brain”, written by Dillinger and and produced by Hoo Kim. It was recorded at Channel One studios and featured Trinity on backing vocals. The song was driven by samples from the Gold record “Do It Any Way You Wanna” by American funk band People’s Choice. Dillinger toured Europe on the strength of the hit and was referenced by Joe Strummer in The Clash’s track “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais”. Our chosen B-side is the 1979 reprise “Marijuana In My Brain”, also written by Dillinger, which resulted in album of the same name.
