Description
Arguably the greatest Jamaican record producer of all time, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry was instrumental in transforming the island’s national sound throughout the Sixties and Seventies, with his unique approach to music making pushing the music beyond previously perceived boundaries.
To mark the first anniversary of his passing, the very best of his work is showcased across a number of products, all of which effectively demonstrate why Perry was widely venerated figure for so long...
The DELUXE BOX SET comprises four vinyl LPs and four CD's featuring his best known and most influential recordings including a previously unreleased mix of Junior Murvin’s powerful ‘Police And Thieves’, UK chart-buster ‘Hurt So Good’ by Susan Cadogan and the Upsetters’ boss reggae classic ‘Return Of Django’, as well as numerous major Jamaican hits.
Also included in the set is a 50 page fully illustrated page book, penned by Scratch’s official biographer, David Katz and featuring an array of photos by celebrated photographer Adrian Boot, and a newly designed two-sided full colour 24” x 24” poster.
