Lee Perry & Friends - Black Art From The Black Ark DOUBLE LP
SKU: PSLP108

UK import!
A quick internet search brings up some extraordinary footage of Lee
‘Scratch’ Perry producing a session at the Black Ark. Taken from
the film ‘Roots, Rock, Reggae’, directed by Jeremy Marre, the
sequence shows Junior Murvin collaborating with members of the
Congos and the Heptones on a song improvised on the spot for the
film crew. Before the vocals are recorded, the Upsetters lay down
the backing track. The musical director of the session is the
afro-haired bass player, Boris Gardiner; unusually, it is he who
counts in the band to start each take. After a long conversation
with Boris a few years back, I asked Lee about his contribution to
the Black Ark sound.
Unusually, Lee decided to do everything himself, both producing and
engineering. The film clip shows Lee fully relaxed as he
simultaneously directs the musicians and adjusts his recording
machines.
