Our Take

Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters have returned with a reissue of their classic albums "Return Of Django" and "Eastwood Rides Again", bringing a fusion of reggae and soul that is as fresh and exciting as it was back in the 70s.

"Return Of Django" kicks off with the infectious title track, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Perry's signature dub production shines through, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that will have you grooving from start to finish. The Upsetters' tight rhythms and Perry's unique vocal style combine effortlessly, making this album a must-listen for any reggae fan.

On the flip side, "Eastwood Rides Again" takes things up a notch with its cinematic soundscapes and gritty vibes. The album draws inspiration from spaghetti westerns and blaxploitation films, with Perry's eccentric lyrics and off-kilter rhythms adding a touch of unpredictability to the mix. Tracks like "African Herbman" and "Caveman Skank" showcase the band's versatility and creativity, making this a truly standout album in their discography.

Overall, Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters have delivered a timeless collection of tracks that will have you hitting the repeat button over and over again. Whether you're a die-hard reggae fan or just looking for some fresh tunes, this reissue is a must-have for your music collection. Dive in and let the dub vibes wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
