ABOUT THIS ITEM

During the mid-to-late seventies. Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry almost single-handedly took Jamaican music to a new level, using the limited equipment installed in his compact Black Ark studio to push reggae’s boundaries beyond their perceived limits, and in so doing creating numerous musical masterpieces. Included among his best-known works that saw issue on the island are a number of seminal recordings, including "Hurt So Good", "Curley Locks", "Police And Thieves" and "Sipple Out Deh" – a song later remixed and re-titled by Island as "War In A Babylon". These, along with the best of his other Jamaican singles from this golden era have been brought together for this, the most essential reggae collection in years.
