Best remembered for his breakthrough hit “Police and Thieves,” produced in 1976 by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and later covered by The Clash, Murvin’s high register became the sound of the summer in Jamaica and England, both countries caught in intense racial unrest. But the track—an instant earworm—reached far beyond reggae, later soundtracking Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and influencing countless artists who recognized its balance of beauty and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCool Down The Heat offers a newly compiled collection of Murvin’s 1980s recordings, remixed and updated by King Jammy, the dub master and legendary producer who helped pioneer digital reggae with “Under Me Sleng Teng.” The album opens with its title track, launching digi-dub gunshot sounds before Murvin’s falsetto slides in with commanding reassurance. “The sound of the gun echoes everywhere\/ The coming of Jah, you know it’s near\/ My gosh, cool down the heat.” His voice delivers prophecy through trembling vocal cords, turning warning into prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
