Lee "Scratch" Perry Concert Tickets

Lee "Scratch" Perry (born Rainford Hugh Perry, on 20th March 1936, in Kendal, Jamaica) is one of the most influential people in the development of reggae and dub music in Jamaica. Perry began his career in the late 1950s working with Clement Coxsone Dodd's sound system. He eventually performed a variety of important tasks at Studio One as well as recording about thirty songs, but the pair eventually stopped working together due to personality and financial conflicts.

There's no denying Lee "Scratch" Perry's status as a reggae icon. He is the producer behind much of the seminal Jamaican music of the 1960s and '70s. He is one of a handful of producers who basically invented dub reggae, in turn influencing scores of subsequent genres and subgenres, hip hop among them. But for the past few decades, Perry's work has been defined more by a series of high-profile collaborators than by the Upsetter himself...

You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but maybe you can remind him of the glories of his youth. Groundbreaking Jamaican producer Lee "Scratch" Perry virtually invented the dark seizures of dub in the first half of the 1970s alongside fellow sonic visionaries such as King Tubby but his last truly staggering record is many decades behind him, and his tiresomely eccentric live performances and interviews long ago passed the realm of self-parody...

Lee "Scratch" Perry Master Piece (Born Free Records) The Orb Featuring Lee "Scratch" Perry The Orbserver In The Star House (The End Records) The Quick Take While Lee "Scratch" Perry feels like more of a visitor than a headliner on Master Piece, the production is brilliant. Loungers, meet Scratch; Scratch disciples, have yourself some lounge. The Orb prove to be the perfect hosts for Mr. Perry with The Orbserver In The Star House - one of the best Scratch-related projects in years...

Master Piece is the new (2012) full-length album from renowned dub-reggae pioneer, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, with some songs first introduced in 2010 on a ground-breaking EP in their 'unfinished' state. Produced by Born Free and The Next Room, the album features ten tracks employing some of the techniques of the Mad Professor but with a distinctly original, updated sound with elements of lounge-dub and deep trance.

As part of the label's thirtieth anniversary, On-U Sound presents eleven Lee Perry tracks remixed and re-imagined by contemporary artists. It is striking how fresh the tracks feel, successfully bridging gaps between 1987 and 2011 and reawakening reggae culture for 'modern' clubbers. 'Spongy Rubber.....

Producer/performer/innovator Lee "Scratch" Perry doesn't create art so much as he induces a state of mind. From his early days as the "Upsetter" in the late '60s to his latest release Rise Again, Perry weaves aural magic that is unmistakably "Scratch." Continuing with the dub tradition he helped create, Rise Again finds Scratch as performer, with Bill Laswell producing. And what a creation it is. All of his music is headphone candy, and this one is no exception...

One problem with Lee Perry is his decades-long lack of interest in songs; he prefers to ramble until the hard disc is full. The producer here, Bill Laswell (Iggy, PiL, Herbie Hancock's Rockit), sidesteps the difficulty by letting Perry drone on and editing it diligently. The result is a traditionally-shaped set of songs in a minor key, resulting in a self-conscious dub-futurism. The ingredients of 70s reggae are here, especially the horns and echoes...
