With Lee Perry in 1975.
Kinky Fly is here… plus eight killer bonus tracks.
Mastered from the original tapes.

Neglected, stunning, mystical Upsetters roots — with scrumptiously extended trombone — first released in Amsterdam on Henk Targowski’s Black Art imprint (bundled with special mixes of Cane River Rock and Dread Lion).

The classic original album, plus a crazy load of extras, including crucial Upsetters like Fever, Hail To Power, The Long Way, etc etc.
Mad bargain.

Sweet, heavy lovers, with Perry’s genius touch, from early 1978 — concluding the singer’s illustrious accomplishments at the Black Ark, recently including backing vocals on Chant Down Babylon Kingdom, for Yabby You, Travelling, behind Deborah Keese, and the classic Freedom, under his own name.

From the Black Ark; a local hit in 1975. Clarke’s tale has the hapless, resilient innocence of Buster Keaton. Nice, basic melodica. The production is credited to Mike Johnson — who also stumped up for I-Roy sessions at the Ark around this time — but the rhythm and dub are Upsetters through and through.

At his best in this call-to-arms, originally released on Black Art in 1977; but it’s all about Lee Perry’s genius at the desk. Stunning dub.

Upsetters magic from the Black Ark, circa 1976. The story goes that only thirty copies were pressed, back in the day.

Lovely singing by the Hombres over a limber, spaced-out Upsetters rhythm you could listen to for hours. The dub attenuates the political reasoning with cruel brilliance.
