LEE SCRATCH PERRY - THE UPSETTER

The man who helped create dub reggae, the man whose production skills shaped Bob Marley's sound... his name is LEE SCRATCH PERRY.

“When one speaks of reggae music’s progenitors, there are usually three names that come before any others: Bob Marley, Coxsone Dodd, Lee “Scratch” Perry. And now, only the Upsetter remains—Perry , the mad, mystical, and wildly talented musician and producer.”
- Relix

“A certifiable genius….Lee "Scratch" Perry, the Upsetter, the man Bob Marley once described as a "genius", has already made one of the most individual contributions to the development of Jamaican music, as a producer, arranger and writer, and also simply as a singularly powerful guiding force during several crucial phases.”

SEE HIM WHILE YOU CAN!
