Groovy Situation - Lee Perry Dubplate Mixes

Kicking off a brand new subsidiary label from Studio 16. Featuring killer, Black Art dubplate style recordings from The Black Ark around the mid-70s. The first instalment features singers Keith Rowe & Texan Dixon. 
Recorded at The Black Ark in the mid-’70s with Lee “Scratch” Perry. These are unmissable recordings from the glory days of the genre. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: One of four utterly compelling and completely essential 10"s released from the golden era of The Black Ark. Just when you thought you'd heard all the Lee Perry mixes there was to hear, Studio 16 hit us with this salvo of roots and dub. The pressing and fidelity is ultra high, leaving us, as usual, scratching our heads as to how the Upsetter achieved such sonic majesty with such limited resources.
