Skanking With The Upsetter

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 transparent yellow vinyl album for Record Store Day 2024 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.
