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.\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“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 \u0026amp; 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.’\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e“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.”\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e —David Katz (excerpt from the liner notes)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Originally released in 1970 on Trojan sub-label Upsetter\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Classic reggae album by Lee \"Scratch\" Perry\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• First time available on vinyl domestically\u003cspan class=\"break\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Featuring Dave Barker, Count Prince Miller and Alva Lewis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Tracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1     –The Upsetters     Bad Tooth     2:41\u003cbr\u003eA2     –The Upsetters     The Dentis' (AKA The Dentist)     2:29\u003cbr\u003eA3     –The Upsetters     Outer Space     2:12\u003cbr\u003eA4     –The Upsetters     One Punch     2:44\u003cbr\u003eA5     –Dave Barker (2) \u0026amp; The Upsetters     Will You Still Love Me     2:55\u003cbr\u003eA6     –The Upsetters     Take One     3:11\u003cbr\u003eB1     –The Upsetters     Soul Walk     2:58\u003cbr\u003eB2     –The Upsetters     I Want To Thank You     3:09\u003cbr\u003eB3     –Count Prince Miller \u0026amp; The Upsetters     Mule Train     2:33\u003cbr\u003eB4     –The Upsetters     Touch Of Fire     2:40\u003cbr\u003eB5     –Alva Lewis* \u0026amp; The Upsetters     She Is Gone Again     2:19\u003cbr\u003eB6     –The Upsetters     The Result     2:57\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57428661567832,"sku":null,"price":4.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8324\/6424\/files\/the-upsetters-scratch-the-upsetter-again-new-vinyl-lp-134255.jpg?v=1780465896","url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/the-upsetters-scratch-the-upsetter-again-new-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
