Lee Perry started out at Sir Clement ‘Coxsone’ Dodd’s Studio One.
“As a free-spirited musical force however, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry had
too much creativity to be constrained as an underling of another
producer; his unlimited artistic vision and individual way of being,
which incorporates an unpredictable and often quarrelsome
temperament, meant he simply had to be his own boss.”

Ark studio’ in the garden of his house. From that moment history
was written. Next to recording under his own name, Lee Perry
was a gifted producer and worked with the greatest of artists.
Today we find some of the most famous albums from that
