The Early Upsetter Singles

Description

After years as an artist and producer in the Jamaican music industry, Lee 'Scratch' Perry launched his own label Upsetter Records in late spring 1968. In the months that followed, his exceptional talent was repeatedly supported by the release of a number of popular 7-inch singles. The most successful was his groundbreaking hit People Funny Boy. During the summer of 68, the brand-new Trojan Records had acquired the exclusive rights to Perry’s productions and released the best tracks on the company’s flagship label before launching a UK version of its groundbreaking label at the beginning of the following year. This luxurious 7-inch singles box set collection contains faithful original reproductions of the first ten 45s that were released in the UK at the time, each pressed on high-quality vinyl and presented in specially developed cardboard sleeves. This elegantly designed collection also includes a folded poster-format insert with an in-depth essay on Perry by official biographer David Katz.
