Hoeveel prachtige platen Lee Perry ook gemaakt heeft, Roast Fish, Colly Weed & Corn Bread blijft voor mij de allermooiste. Samen met de twee Super Ape's draai ik hem nog altijd met enorm veel plezier. De subtiele geluidjes, belletjes, loeiende koeien, huilende baby's, dit zijn platen die nooit gaan vervelen.

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[...]
