LEE SCRATCH PERRY & UPSETTERS – return of the superape (CD, LP Vinyl)
Remastered Vinylrepress von Lee "Scratch" Perry produziertem, original 1978 in Jamika veröffentlichtem Album, das erschien, kurz bevor Perry sein Black Ark studio schliessen musste. "a psychedelicized dub journey into uncharted sonic territories. Das dritte Album der zwischen 1976 und 1978 erschienenen Trilogie, zu der auch "Scratch The Super Ape" (aka "Super Ape") and "Roast Fish & Cornbread" gehören. Mit zusätzlichem Gesang von The Full Experience bei "Dyon-Anasaw" und "Tell Me Something Good". Reggae-Experte Jeremy Collingwood: "The Return Of The Super Ape that surfaced later in the year 1978 saw Perry way off the mainstream with a set that owed much to jazz with its loose structure and horn breaks. The title track took an early production from Perry, U-Roy's " OK Corral", and reshaped it into another futuristic outing - just like the original that had been a decade earlier. At the time few knew what to make of it and over the years its lack of proper re issue had meant it's remained a hidden Perry gem. It also marked the end of a hugely creative period at the Black Ark." *17 North Parade/VP
