Review by manchester Sep 15, 2005 (edited over 6 years ago)
This is one of the greatest compilations of music EVER! and I mean across all genres. This absolutely stupendous 3 CD set covers some of the best material of work by the Jamaican legend and genius that is Lee 'Scratch' Perry. The box set covers his legendary period of work created at his famous Black Ark studios (which he later burnt down in a state of paranoia). It's such an astounding body of work, covering his work as an artist, producer and remixer extradoniare, working with a whole host of Jamaican legends such as Max Romeo, Junior Murvin, Augustus Pablo, The Congos, The Heptones and of course Perry'y own superb band The Upsetters. There are stunning roots anthems on here, as well as deep bass heavy dub classics, funky uplifting soulful reggae, and political & socially conscious reggae of the very highest order. If you are looking for an appropriate place to start exploring Lee Perry's incredible body of work or even just thinking about getting some classic reggae, then this is a brilliant collection that really showcases some of the greatest Jamaican music ever created. This set would be in my desert island discs collection. 5 STARS AND THEN SOME...
