Motion Records are pleased to announce the release of the long-awaited Lee
'Scratch' Perry compilation BORN IN THE SKY: UPSETTER AT THE CONTROLS 1969-75.

Over a third of the twenty two tracks on this CD were mastered from Perry's
recently unearthed original 1/4" tapes and include nine previously
unreleased cuts including four previously unreleased songs and five
previously unreleased alternate takes. The rest of the tracks on the album
have not appeared on CD before and have been painstakingly mastered from
rare vinyl singles. The album was licensed from Lee Perry himself
(although some tracks had to be subsequently licensed from Trojan Records)
unlike many more dubious releases currently on the market.

The Double vinyl gatefold album contains two additional tracks, and a
three-track EP (12" vinly & CD) has also been released to promote the album.

The detailed sleeve notes in the twenty page full colour booklet were
written by compiler David Katz, whose biography of Lee Perry 'People Funny
Boy' was published recently by Canongate Books (www.canongate.net) and is
shortly to be launched in the USA by Grove Atlantic. The CD booklet
contains several previously unpublished photographs of Perry, a detailed
track by track analysis, and a look at Perry's personal and musical history.

Artists featured in the set include Lee Perry, The Upsetters, The
Silvertones, Prince Jazzbo, The Ethiopians, Susan Cadogan, Jimmy Riley,
Stranger & Gladdy, The Versatiles, Dread Locks Faye and others. All tracks
were produced and/or engineered by Lee Perry, the majority at his famed
Black Ark studio. Listen and appreciate the unique and unbeatable genius
of Lee 'Scratch' Perry.

This release is the Fourth in a successful series on Motion
Records. Previous Motion reggae releases include:

The Skatalites/King Tubby - 'Heroes Of Reggae In Dub'
Various Artists/King Tubby - 'The Sound Of Channel One: King Tubby Connection'
King Tubby Meets Larry Marshall - 'I Admire You In Dub'
