From Ninja B's Collention. Odd coverart but very nice album from Simpleton, produced by Colin (Fatta) Walters in 1992.

Simpleton (born Christopher Harrison, Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica, 1971) was a Jamaican DJ whose claim to fame was the 1992 hit single,"Coca Cola Bottle Shape." Earlier records of this artist bring his name as Dracula and not Simpleton on the label "How you fi say dat".Simpleton released three reggae albums in the mid-1990s. After being virtually idle from the Jamaican music scene, Simpleton died from a heart attack on November 7, 2004 in Kingston, Jamaica.
