Synopsis

Album Description
Arguably the greatest musical talent to emerge in Jamaica, 2011 collection from the Reggae great. Lee `Scratch' Perry has produced some of the finest Reggae recordings to ever see issue. Launching his career as an independent producer in 1968, he topped the local charts with the help of his studio band The Upsetters with typically innovative hit, `People Funny Boy' before making his UK breakthrough the following year with `Return Of Django'. Numerous Reggae classics followed, including further British chart hits, Susan Cadogan's `Hurts So Good' and Junior Murvin's `Police And Thieves'. This definitive collection of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's 20 best-known productions from both the Trojan and Island catalogues, demonstrate why Bob Marley acclaimed 'The Upsetter' a musical genius.
