Lee Perry - Lee Perry Presents: Dub Treasure From The Black Ark (Rare Dubs 1976-1978) '2013

Tracks list

Jamaican Recordings dust off a prime box of rare Lee Perry tricks, apparently
from the Black Ark circa 1976-1978. The Black Ark was in operation from 1974
until the early '80s when it suffered an unfortunate, and some might say
inevitable, demise. Located in Perry's back yard at 5 Washington Gardens,
Kingston, JA, the studio's equipment was modest compared with other setups on
the island - including a Teac 4-track recorder, soundcraft mixing desk, Echoplex
delay and phaser FX with a Roland RE201 Space Echo, but of course, it's not what
you got, it's what you do with it that counts! And Lee 'Scratch' Perry made some
of his most definitive tracks during this period, surrounded by an ever
increasing circle of nyabinghi-playing Rastas. It's that drumming and the sense
of "whooshing" psychedelic space that defines the 16 tracks from this era and
sets this body of work apart from the rest of his catalogue. Check out for the
frivolous vibes of 'Party Dub', the tumbling dubble time syncopations of 'Hot A
Hot Dub' or the CD only bonus cut 'Baby Talk', featuring the recurring (and
occasionally disturbing) theme of babbling babies set amidst breathtakingly
dynamic and dextrous FX. Killah sound.
