Marking the first anniversary of his passing, this bumper set spans a lifetime of scene-leading, innovative production by the lyrical boaster.
Holding 63 prime cuts (check each format for diff tracklisting), from early rocksteady and ska to Susan Cadogan’s ‘Hurt So Good’ and an unreleased mix of ‘Police & Thieves’, Trojan’s posthumous set surveys the many monikers of Rainford Hugh Lee Perry, aka Lee “Scratch” Perry, The ‘Upsetter’, Pipecock Jackxon. It covers the wee dynamo keeping in step, or even leading the step, of Jamaican music’s remarkable evolutions and cycles between rocksteady, ska, roots reggae and the bith of dub, which he can surely lay claim to developing, if not originating.
