Liner notes by David Katz!
"The inventive record producer and vocalist Lee 'Scratch' Perry was
involved in every musical shift of note in his native Jamaica, from
the rhythm and blues that pre-dated the arrival of ska in the early
1960s through the slower and more spacious rocksteady style that
appeared mid-decade and, of course, the frenetic sound of reggae,
which he helped to birth as an independent producer during the late
1960s. Operating as 'The Upsetter' from his base in a downtown
Kingston record shop, Perry found his greatest success with
instrumental music during this phase, the organ and saxophone
re-castings of standard vocal issues proving exceptionally popular
overseas.
"Scratch The Upsetter Again surfaced early in 1970 as a largely
instrumental set, but with dreamy reverb a hefty feature and
keyboards veering away from standard organ motifs. Dave Barker, who
was soon to hit the pop charts as part of Dave & Ansel Collins,
tackles The Shirelles' 'Will You Still Love Me' in soul reggae
mode, only for Perry to shift things towards the emerging dub
spectrum with 'Take One.'
"As Perry inched ever closer to the dub experimentation he would
turn into an art form at his own Black Ark studio later in the
decade, Scratch The Upsetter Again shows him moving away from the
standard approaches of his competitors in his quest to test the
very limits of recorded sound. And reggae was all the richer for
it."
