Dive into a golden era of Jamaican music with The Complete UK Upsetter Singles Collection Volume 4 1971 - 1973. Curated from the legendary archives of Trojan Records, this compilation is a masterclass in the revolutionary, boundary-pushing production techniques of Lee "Scratch" Perry. Capturing a pivotal transition period in reggae history, the collection chronicles Perry's early 1970s studio experiments as he actively laid the gritty, echo-drenched foundations for dub and roots reggae.
True to the classic singles format, the album pairs phenomenal vocal A-sides with their rare, mesmerizing B-side instrumental and dub "versions." It highlights the unparalleled rhythms of Perry’s legendary house band, The Upsetters, alongside heavy-hitting vocal performances and toasts by early reggae pioneers.
