Description
The Versatiles’ “Hurry Up” meets Count Sticky & The Upsetters’ “Dry Acid” on this Lee Perry boss-reggae double-sider, pairing the vocal and DJ versions back-to-back for the first time.
Featuring Junior Byles with The Versatiles, “Hurry Up” originally appeared in Britain on the Upsetter label in 1970. “Dry Acid” brings Count Sticky’s DJ delivery to the same riddim, offering a contrasting interpretation rather than an instrumental. It previously appeared on a Jamaican pre-release and Britain’s Punch label.
For selectors, the appeal is immediate: two approaches to one groove, ready to play side by side. For collectors, the coupling connects Junior Byles’ vocal work with Perry’s early productions and Count Sticky’s DJ style.
Issued in Switzerland in 2015, this Upsetter 7-inch reissue (RF076) runs at 45 RPM. A rewarding addition for early-reggae enthusiasts who appreciate the conversation between singer, deejay and riddim.
