    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2018


    Includes the Top Five hit ‘Return Of Django’.


    Compiled and annotated by leading Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry biographer, David Katz


    A year after embarking on a career as an independent producer in 1968, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry hit the big time when the mesmeric sax-led rock steady instrumental, ‘Return Of Django’ made number 5 in the UK charts. Soon after, Trojan released a hugely popular collection of the producer’s most popular instrumental releases to date, suitably titled after the best-selling single.


    Perry remained at the cutting edge of the reggae scene throughout the months that immediately followed, with tracks by The Upsetters (essentially the name given any set of musicians employed for his recording sessions) proving particularly popular among both Jamaican and British music fans.


    In response, Trojan issued a second Spaghetti Western- themed instrumental-based album comprising the enigmatic Jamaican’s work that further demonstrated his increasingly bold and innovative approach to music making.


    Now, over 50 years after the original release of these historically important long-players, they have been brought together to form this immensely fascinating and hugely enjoyable CD collection.
