Lee Perry: Dubstrumentals (TJBDD294)

More musical madness and trickery as this 2 Cd set puts together 3 in demand albums – The Mighty Upsetter Kung Fu meets the dragon, Return of the Wax and Musical Bones (Vin Gordon & Upsetters)

All kinds of twists and turns and wizardry from the master lee Perry, drawing from the prevalent Kung Fu movies of the time. Personally I like the instrumental second album the best although the jazz trombone of Vin Gordon adds another perspective to the third album.

Lee Perry: Dubstrumentals (TJBDD294)

Format: Double CD album Released: Oct 24 2005 Price: £9.99 The companion piece to the successful Dub-Triptych set (issued in April of last year), this 2 CD set likewise draws together three ground breaking albums issued by Lee Perry in the mid 1970's. All three collections highlighted instrumental works and were only released in the UK in limited numbers, with original copies now highly prized collectors items. Kung-Fu Meets The Dragon, which has a strong soundtrack feel and features Augustus Pablo on several tracks, finds Lee Perry inspired by the Kung Fu craze then sweeping the world. Return Of The Wax is similarly inspired and Musical Bones features top hornsman, Vin Gordon delivering a series of jazz-influenced Dub-Reggae sides.
