Description

1LP Vinyl – STU16LP 005

This third volume of the Disco Devil Black Ark series pulls together 6 classics from Lee "Scratch" Perry's studio. 4 discomixes and 2 vocal/dub edits – the audio on these tracks has been extensively restored from original pressings yet it allows Perry's bizarre and wonderful tricks and techniques to shine through while maintaining the raw quality that made them so real in the first place. Jamaican roots music that's imbued with plenty of ganja spirit, from tricked out and cosmic to deep and more insular, brought about by one man's brilliant work behind the boards.

This release, along with the other two in the series is vinyl only.
The first four selections are original discomixes produced by Lee Perry. The last two selections are vocal/dub edits.
The audio was extensively restored from original pressings. Lee Perry's techniques were highly unusual and the tunes often have a raw quality to them but they are in all cases pretty much exactly what you'd hear with a near mint original 🙂
