Lee Scratch Perry - Jamaican ET (LTD Gold Vinyl)

 

The original Jamaican extra-terrestrial marked a return to the power of Lee “Scratch” Perry's most spaced-out work.

On Jamaican ET, Perry created a contemporary and challenging set by applying his psychedelic dub to roots reggae, modern reggae, hip-hop, and dazed, otherworldly exotica. The riddims are groovy, but Perry's greatest strength has always been his mixology. On this album, instead of his usual dub mixes full of insane rhythmic effects, Perry utilizes the voice as his primary instrument of dub: laid-back toasting, singing, mumbling, and gospel backups come in and out, crisscrossing and swirling, truly setting a new mark.

In 2003 it won the Grammy award for Best Reggae Album.

The year we were founded in 1998 - long after vinyl was declared dead and long before vinyl was hailed as cool again - proves that we are real vinyl nerds. We only started out as a small record dealer from home. Later we opened our first real record shop and then of course our
