Episode 30: 30 Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - Chicken Scratch - The Upsetting Special

Lee Scratch Perry passed away a short while ago and rather than add to the plethora of tributes by so many much better qualified than I to honour him, I held off until now, when I felt I could no longer delay my addition to celebrating the incredible creativity of Jamaica’s most exotic producer and performer. There is something about his utilisation of his own life as an ongoing artistic installation of Words, Sounds and Power that became a major reason for my interest in Jamaican CULTURE.  This show is offered as truly as one ever could be to a LEGEND.The following is not a comprehensive look at his music, from early productions beloved by those proponents of ‘Skinhead Reggae’ to the later Reverb washed mystical meanderings on U-Sound records; instead it’s some of my favourite Perry productions, mainly it has to be said from the era of his Black Art outpourings. You could collect his music for decades and still only be part the way to lifting the surface on his musical output, I’m no expert, but I know what I like!George Faith - I’ve Got The Groove - Island - SingleDevon Irons - When Jah Come - Black Art Revive - SingleAugustus Pablo - Vibrate On + Vibration Dub - Black Art Revive - SingleSilvertones - Finnancial Crisis - Produced and Directed by the Upsetter - Pressure Sounds - CdWatty Burnett - Open The Gate - Revive Black Art - SingleMax Romeo - Fire Fe The Vatican - Mango - SingleJunior Byles - Fever - Black Art Revive - SingleThe Upsetters - Enter The Dragon - Dip - Single Bob Marley & The Wailers - Man to Man (Who The Cap Fits) - Upsetter Revive SingleWinston Prince - A Place Called Africa - Africa’s Blood - Trojan Records - CdJimmy and the Inspirations - Ain’t No Love - Scratch/Pressure Sounds - SingleThe Bleechers - Check Him Out - Upsetter - SingleBusty Brown - What A Price - Upsetter Revive - SingleEric Donaldson and The West Indians - Never Get Away - Upsetter Revive - SingleMuskyteers - Kiddy-O - The Upsetter - Trojan Records - LpUpsetters - Soulful I - The Upsetter - Trojan Records - LpSir Lord Comic and the Upsetters - Django Shoots First - Lp2 The Upsetter - Trojan - Lp Box Set U-Roy - Double Six - Double Seven, Lp3 of The Upsetter Box Set - Trojan - Lp Box Set Upsetters - Soul Fire - Lee Perry Presents Roast Fish Collie Weed and Corn Bread - Upsetter - LpSilvertones - Rejoice Jah Jah Children + Rejoicing Skank - Black Art Revive - SingleJah Lion - Columbia Collie - Black Art Revive - SingleHeptones - Party Time - Island - SingleJunior Murvin - Police & Thieves + Jal Lion - Soldier and Police War - Island - SingleJunior Murvin & the Upsetters - Philistines on the Land - Black Art Revive - SingleCarlton Jackson - History - Upsetter Revive - 12” SingleTommy McCook and the Upsetters - Cloak and Dagger Dub Pressure - Trojan - 10” SingleThe Congos - La La Bam-Bam - Heart of the Congos Lp - Simply Vinyl/Blood and Fire - LpJah Lloyd - White Belly Rat - The Upsetters with Lee Perry and Friends - Lp 1 - Trojan - Lp Box SetDevon Irons - Vampire - Arkology - Island Records - Cd1 - Cd Box SetLeroy Sibbles - Jah Far I On a Pinnacle - Big Spanner Ajax - 12” SingleJunior Murvin and Dillinger - Roots Train - Arkology - Island Records - Cd2 - Cd Box SetThe Upsetters - Croaking Lizard - Super Ape - Mango - CdEric Donaldson and the Keystones - Stand Up - From I am The Upsetter Box Set - SingleLee Perry - Chicken Scratch - Chicken Scratch - Heartbeat - Lp That’s All Volks.If you fancy helping the show out you can send Dunza via PayPal.
