There are not many people who can genuinely claim to have changed the course of popular music but Lee is one of them. R.I.P.

Lifetime Achievement: Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Eternal Reggae/Dub Discography
▻https://daily.bandcamp.com/lifetime-achievement/lee-scratch-perry-guide

A perfect showcase of the remarkable production skills of undisputed dub master Lee “Scratch” Perry, this is the final Upsetters LP to be recorded at The Black Ark studio before its closure!

“There are rare instances of a sequel being better than the original, and while some might argue that Lee Perry’s muggy mid-’70s classic Super Ape is untouchable, Return of the Super Ape proves far more outlandish and wiggly. Rumored to be the last album made at Black Ark in 1978, it, like its predecessor, boasts a cover of a giant ape wreaking havoc across the land (this one’s holding a giant spliff, though). Perry rants about vampires and Rastafarians on the muddy “Jah Jah Ah Natty Dread,” and “Psyche and Trim” uses slapback to add glints of light to the otherwise dark track. One can picture Perry as that titular ape, wrecking all the elements in a way so that the chaotic jumble feels just right.” - Andy Beta, #Bandcamp_Daily

Producer and performer who worked with Bob Marley and pioneered both dub and roots reggae styles dies in hospital in Jamaica.
Lee “Scratch” Perry, whose pioneering work with roots reggae and dub opened up profound new depths in Jamaican music, has died aged 85.

Jamaican media reported the news that he died in hospital in Lucea, northern Jamaica. No cause of death has yet been given. Andrew Holness, the country’s prime minister, sent “deep condolences” to Perry’s family.

When Lee Perry – aka Scratch, aka The Upsetter– burned down his Black Ark studio, many people thought he had finally flipped his lid. But now he’s back, with a new LP, a new studio and a vengeful plan to bankrupt Island Records – whose villainy, he claims, brought about his past madness. Danny Kelly takes a schizo-reading on the man who invented dub and made Bob Marley famous.
