Upsetters

Lee Perry - Return Of Django - The Best Of The Upsetters - Trojan

When Joe Gibbs started his label during the Rock Steady era, he turned to Lee Perry for help during recording sessions.

It wasn' t long before Scratch was more or less producing for Joe Gibbs, and it wasn' t long after that, that they had a disagreement.

Scratch started the Upsetter label and one of it's first releases was 'People Funny Boy'. This type of reggae was raw and wild.

Although it had the same elements that could be found in the Beverleys productions the mix was radically different. Who the Upsetters were then is one for research.

During the reggae era no one artist was really concentrated upon. Instead, Scratch worked with artists like David Isaacs, Dave Barker, Busty Brown and vocal groups like The Untouchables and The Bleechers.

This set concentrates on his massive intstumentals hits. ‘Return Of Django’. ‘Clint Eastwood’ (which is an early dub record!), ‘Live Injection’ these are the tunes that made Lee Perry. There are a load more here as well that you on a musical journey from reggae to roots!!!
