I know he had a hand in a lot of great stuff, but all of the stuff I've heard that's actually HIS has irritated the fuck outta me. I never could get
into dub and all that, but I LOVE old Reggae and such. Guess I don't get his schtick.

you just have to go back further into his catalog, he did some amazing ska, rocksteady shit, before he started doing dub.
check out this album Lee Perry - Chicken Scratch it's fucking great.

or Lee Perry - The Upsetter. not sure if that one's on cd. it's easily available on Trojan still as far as I know. absolutely killer album. you can
also get collections of his early/mid 60s ska stuff too, really good. and yeah, some of the later stuff throws me for a loop.

He definitely doesn't get enough credit. A pioneer for sure.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

the sad thing is most of them don't. people think
reggae begins and ends with bob marley. people are wrong.

Never been able to get into reggae. A number of years back I got a boxset of "skinhead reggae" as a gift but later sold it as it isn't my thing.
