Two seminal Trojan albums from the golden age of reggae, on one disc, delivering two dozen tracks from the final days of the 1960s.
Released by Trojan Records at the height of the reggae explosion of late 1969, “The Upsetter” introduced the world to the work of dub innovator Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry.
Here, we get nine strong instrumental sides from the Upsetters, and the collection also features a brace of vocal tracks from Busty Brown – “To Love Somebody” and “Crying About You”and “Kiddy-O” by the Silvertones, under the guise of the Muskyteers.
The following year, Trojan released the popular follow-up, “Scratch The Upsetter Again”, which further demonstrated the producer’s increasingly innovative approach to music making; beginning to display elements of the developing dub sound.
The set includes “Will You Still Love Me”, attributed to Dave Barker & The Upsetters, “Mule Train” from Count Prince Miller & The Upsetters and the Alva Lewis & The Upsetters contribution, “She Is Gone Again”.
Annotated by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry biographer, David Katz, here is an opportunity to experience the early work of a man who significantly contributed to the transformation of the sound of Jamaican music.
He still tours today at the age of 83, and in 2013 starred on the big screen in an acclaimed biopic of his life and career, “Vision Of Paradise” which was released on DVD in 2015.
In May 2019 he will perform in Norwich, Bristol and London and is due back to “the smoke” in June for a gig at XOYO. A real legend who you need to go see before it’s too late.
Mad as a box of frogs but without Lee, reggae music would have lost out.

Scratch The Upsetter Again Rare
By 1970, Lee Scratch Perry was firmly established as one of Jamaicas premier producers, having issued a series of local hits on his Upsetter imprint, including the international best-seller, Return Of Django.
Scratch The Upsetter Again Rare
His no-nonsense, hard-hitting sound won him numerous fans, both in his native land and the UK, where legions of young skinheads snapped up every record they could find that bore the Perry hallmark sound.
Originally issued by Trojan at the start of 1970, Scratch The Upsetter Again illustrates Perry taking a contemplative glance further into the realm of instrumental sound.
As a portent of the dub techniques he would later more fully develop, the album shows the producer on the cusp of a new era.
