Lee Scratch Perry Presents Confusion - The Jamaican Upsetter Singles 1971 (Album) 2025

[ST3VEN]

While much of Perry’s work throughout the preceding 12 months had comprised instrumental works, the new year marked a key change in his approach, with his output throughout 1971 increasingly showcasing vocal recordings performed by a small, but talented roster of artists.

This is evidenced by this, the fourth Doctor Bird collection charting the legendary producer’s development from local hitmaker to global star. Included here are some of his most important Upsetter recordings from the period, featuring such influential artists as Junior Byles, Dave Barker, Little Roy, Carl Dawkins and The Righteous Flames.

Featuring numerous tracks unavailable on any format for decades, this compelling 2CD set not only provides a fascinating insight into Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s musical adventures during a transformative period in Jamaican musical history, it is also a must for all fans of the classic reggae sound.
