Our Take

Fellow skankers and dubheads, gather 'round for a trip through the mind-bending universe of Lee "Scratch" Perry and The Upsetters. This 2-on-1 Original Albums Edition combines two slices of reggae magic: "The Upsetter" and "Scratch The Upsetter Again." Strap in your space helmets and prepare for a sonic journey unlike any other.

The opening track, "Return of Django," kicks things off with a menacing groove that will have you skanking in no time. Perry's off-kilter vocals float over swirling dub rhythms, creating a trippy vibe that'll make you question whether you've accidentally ingested some of the good stuff.

As the album progresses, Perry's production skills shine bright like a ganja-infused beacon. Tracks like "Live Injection" and "Man from M.I.5" showcase Perry's ability to bend sound and rhythm to his will, creating a sonic landscape that is as disorienting as it is captivating.

But it's not all smoke and mirrors with Perry and The Upsetters. Tracks like "Bush Weed Corn Trash" and "Ky-Mani Marley" delve into deeper, introspective themes, proving that Perry is more than just a mad genius behind the mixing board.

So go ahead, dive into the psychedelic world of Lee "Scratch" Perry and The Upsetters. Just make sure you've got a sturdy pair of dub-ready headphones and a generous supply of the good herb. This one's a wild ride, but trust us, it's worth every skanked-out second.
