Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry & The Upsetters / SKANKING WITH THE UPSETTER (RSD 2024)

YELLOW VINYL

12 of the late, great Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s hugely influential early dub tracks, most officially unavailable on vinyl for decades. The early 1970s marked a time of significant transformation for Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, a creative genius whose uniquely unorthodox and often ground-breaking approach to music-making produced some of the most inspiration and original recordings of the 1970s. This special limited edition colour vinyl album for Record Store Day collects his finest early dub recordings, which helped shape and establish the developing sound of the popular sub-genre during its formative period between 1973 and early 74.
