This is one of the last great Lee Perry Dub albums - an essential release for anyone with an interest in Dub, Lee Perry, Reggae, Sound System Culture, and music in general! As always in a high Pressure Sounds quality, there are extended linernotes, and the booklet has exclusive photographs taken by Dennis Morris, some of these have not been seen before. In the 1970's sound system culture one man's productions could be heard in exclusive mixes. That man was Lee 'Scratch' Perry who, more than any producer or performer of the time, used dub plates for one-off projects and mixes: his 'specials' are the thing of legend. CD and 2LP-Vinyl tracklisting Dread Dub Plate – Lee Perry Lama Lava Mix One – Augustus Pablo & The Upsetters Groove Dubber – The Upsetters Groove Rider – The Upsetters Jucky Skank – The Upsetters Chim Cherie – The Upsetters The Rightful Organiser – Lee Perry & The Upsetters Stagger – Lee Perry & The Upsetters Big Neck Cut – Lee Perry & The Upsetters Zeal Of The Lord – The Upsetters Dub Of The Lord – The Upsetters Returning Wax – The Upsetters Bushdub Corntrash – Winston Wright & The Upsetters From Dub Four – Clive Hylton & The Upsetters Roots Train Number Two – Junior Murvin & The Upsetters Locks In The Dublight – Lee Perry & The Upsetters Moonlight Version – The Upsetters Dub History – Carlton Jackson & The Upsetters Living Dub – Keith Rowe & The Upsetters This compilation tells the tale of exclusivity, fashion, being in-the-know, of dub plate culture which lived at the heart of a vibrant scene that saw reggae music develop a new musical genre, that of the remix. In fact Lee Perry was probably one of the most creative producers to have worked in this genre in the 1970s. His exclusive mixes, which were often made for sound systems, are at the heart of what this album is about. A dub plate gave a sound system an exclusive piece of music, although reggae music has always had a fluid concept of what 'exclusive' means, and another reason why their supporters followed them. Sounds had the same passionate following that football clubs had, indeed many fans had the same local loyalty. Sounds had a whole crew to build, move and play the equipment and music: social life was built around where the sound was playing: it was about looking good and checking out the opposite sex. Sounds were about cultural identity, a good time and maybe romance. In the 1970's sound system culture one man's productions could be heard in exclusive mixes. That man was Lee 'Scratch' Perry who, more than any producer or performer of the time, used dub plates for one-off projects and mixes: his 'specials' are the thing of legend. To add to the quality of the package there are exclusive photographs taken by Dennis Morris. Some of these photographs have not been seen before. This will be an essential release for anyone with an intrest in Dub, Lee Perry and Reggae music in general. It is one of the last great Lee Perry Dub albums.
