The Upsetter Live!! ..The truth as it happens!!
Part1.Aricd165Out June 2002
From the Scottish Highlands to the South Island of NewZealand, the Lee Scratch Perry phenomenon has affected a variety of people.kings, queens, students, workers, Indians, Africans, Chinese, Japanese,Flemish, Irish, Americans, CanadiansPeople of all nations have attended orwould like to attend the Upsetter show. His peers and (ex) musicians tend toobserve the happenings with awe and amazement and envy. °ßHow does he do it?°® isa typical question. The fact that the sixty something year old gentleman withthe multicoloured hair and punkish attire can out sell and upstage most other reggaeartists is something most folks can°¶t come to terms with. The fact that theaudiences are getting younger and younger is firm proof that the Lee ScratchPerry has truly arrived at a legendary status reserved for few.
Of all his protégés, onlyBob Marley has eclipsed the profile of Pipecock Jackson.
Purist fans locked intothe Black Ark era, may be disappointed that he is not producing on his Teac 4track machine, but Lee Perry has long outgrown that stage. The truth is thatthose records other than the few clear hits were not greatly appreciated attheir time of release is easily forgotten. The fact that running a recordingstudio from one°¶s home in Kingston, and issuing records is clearly a businessactivity equivalent to selling oranges on the Gaza Strip.

This series of live albumsis a selection of songs from 1984 - 2002 the first live tour in the UK in 1984,when I was asked by Scratch then management, Tony & Adam to be the soundengineer on the road. The musicians from this band were made up from the SUSband from Harlesden, A full line up including a brass section and percussion.Probably the largest band I have ever seened with Lee.
After kicking off atDingwalls in London, we went up north finishing up in Leeds, after a hotinterview with Scratch expert Steve Barker.
Between 1985 & 1988 wehad very little contact, though we resumed working in the studios and on theroad in 1989.
By 1995 we started to worklive again, after completing the Black Ark Experiments album.
Kicking off in France waschallenging, as due to a domestic dispute, Scratch had no passport even morechallenging, was getting him back into England.
Somehow we did it,resulting in one of the most exciting Lee Perry tours ever. Backed by the Ariwabacking band The Robotiks, with full backing vocals from Kofi, Black Steel& Victor Cross.
This cd was inspired by alot of crapp written by the so called °ßPerry experts°® who choose to distort thefacts..
If you°¶ve been to morethan one Lee Perry show, then you know that no 2 shows are the same. Also, younever know quite what to expect! If you have never seen Scratch live, then thisis a great insight to what you can expect. Like many great artists, there arehighs and lows. We have selected tracks from the best shows over the past 18years. As there are too many tracks for 1 cd this is part 1a total of 80 minsof Lee Scratch Perry, AKA the Upsetter Live!! With the truth as it happens!!Hear it for yourself!!
