Notes
--------
Anyone with a passing interest in reggae has heard of Lee Perry also
nown as ‘Scratch’ or ‘The Upsetter’ but, over the last thirty years,
ee ‘Scratch’ Perry has become better known as a ‘performance artist’
ather than a performer, an artist or record producer. Yet Scratch’s
mportance to the history of Jamaican music in particular, and recorded
usic in general, is second to none. He has made an incredible
ontribution to the development of reggae as a producer, arranger and
riter and was the inspiration behind many of the key movements in the
evelopment of the music. In a business overcrowded with superlatives
he word ‘genius’ is too often used to describe the most mediocre of
alents. Lee Perry is, beyond question, a genuine genius and has been
esponsible for creating some of the greatest, most complex and
eriously mystical music ever to come out of Jamaica.

or the six years it was operating his Black Ark recording studio set
tandards that have never been bettered: it was there that Scratch moved
is music in inventive and innovative directions that no-one else has,
ven now, thought to consider. Freed from the strictures of paying for
tudio time on an hourly rate his music became increasingly intense,
ulti-layered and extraordinarily experimental. ‘Native’ Wayne Jobson
emorably described the Black Ark as “like a medieval spaceship with
cratch at the controls” but, as the seventies drew to a close and the
reative tension at the Black Ark kept on mounting, Scratch started to
ecome increasingly out of control. His music was no longer selling well
n Jamaica and the overseas record companies were bewildered with the
apes he sent them for release. But Scratch’s music still found a home
n the sound systems, the natural home of the musical renegade, in
amaica, England, America and Canada. Sound system followers understood
here The Upsetter was coming from, and where he was going to, even if
he general public and record company executives failed to so.

he exclusive mixes showcased on this release have never been heard
efore outside of sound system dances. Some will be familiar through
heir commercial incarnations such as ‘Bucky Skank’, ‘History’ and
Groovy Situation’ but here they have been pushed and pulled, coaxed and
ajoled in hitherto unexplored and previously unimagined directions.
his is music from a man coming to the end of his tether…

he album comes in a stark, striking black and white design with
itherto unseen photographs and lots of archive material. We have also
eleased ‘Dub Plate Pressure’ from the album on a seven inch single. The
ersion side of the single, with the rhythm dubbed into oblivion, does
ot feature on the album and the single comes in its own 'Upsetters
ecords' picture sleeve."
