LEE SCRATCH PERRY
 BACK ON THE CONTROLS
180 GRAM BLACK VINYL 2 LP  RELEASE ALL NEW & SEALED

Midnight Raver - the most visited reggae spot on the web!

Lee “Scratch” Perry Back On The Controls is Perry’s best work since 2003’sJamaican E.T.,

for which he was awarded the Grammy for Best Reggae Album,

and will surely stand as one of the best reggae releases of 2014, which is noteworthy

considering how different it sounds from contemporary reggae.

It is an album that even his harshest critics must acknowledge,

and one that leaves unquestioned his relevance as an artist and producer.

This is the album that the most serious “Scratch-heads” were hoping for, and one in which they will find little to criticize

Riddim Magazine -

Irie Mag - 

“Wow!!! Truly amazing album, one of the best of these times from Lee “

THE STORY :

UK producer Daniel Boyle lovingly recreated the original set up of Black Ark studios by collecting all the

original equipment used by Lee Perry back in the day, and rebuilding Black Ark in his own London studio.

Hearing of this, Lee Scratch Perry couldn’t resist a visit to London, and the resulting sessions that

reunited The Upsetter with his original recording set up  was the blueprint for this brand new album project.

12 new songs, plus dub versions – many with iconic Lee Perry vocals too!

The first modern Lee Perry Production to reach the world on the Upsetter Label in many years.
