Scratch and Company (LP)

PRESSED ON RANDOM RECYCLED VINYL

2023 repress of a pivotal dub release, first issued in 1981. This deep cut from the vaults of Lee Scratch Perry showcases the pioneering producer at his eccentric best, blending seasoned collaborators with fresh talent to craft a wild, genre-defying journey through the Black Ark sound.

Featuring contributions from The Upsetters, Johnny Lover & The Towerchanters, Val Bennett, Lee & The Blue Bell, and others, the album moves effortlessly between haunting instrumentals, spaced-out rhythms, and roots-heavy grooves. A testament to Perrys studio wizardry and experimental spirit, this record remains a key piece of dubs evolution and a must-hear for fans of reggaes outer limits.
