On U Sound

Lee Scratch Perry is an American jazz pianist and composer, born on May 8, 1945 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. With a passion for music since childhood, he dedicated his life to playing the piano until 2018 when he faced two strokes that left him partially paralyzed. Despite this setback, Perry's talent and creativity continue to shine through.

Perry has made significant contributions to the music industry and is renowned for his own music publishing house. He is also recognized as the older brother of esteemed pianist and composer *Keith Jarrett* and singer-songwriter *Bobo Stenson*. His family's musical legacy runs deep.

With a style that resonates with fans worldwide, Lee Scratch Perry's work can be likened to artists such as Keith Jarrett Trio, Bobo Stenson Trio, Charlie Haden, Brad Mehldau, Tord Gustavsen Trio, Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Gary Burton, Jan Garbarek, Brad Mehldau Trio, Ralph Towner, Charles Lloyd, Enrico Pieranunzi, Michel Petrucciani Abdullah Ibrahim Marcin Wasilewski Trio Chick Corea Jacky Terrasson Paolo Fresu Anat Fort Trio Carla Bley. Explore his captivating compositions and immerse yourself in his unique musical journey.

On U Sound is a UK based experimental reggae/dub label founded by Adrian Sherwood. With a rich history and an impressive catalogue of releases, the label has become synonymous with innovative and boundary-pushing music. Adrian Sherwood, also known as *Skip* (artist credits page), is not only the founder but also operates as an artist on the label. It's important to note that On U Sound should not be confused with the US based DJ/club remix label ON-USound.

Related labels such as Pressure Sounds and Green Tea are part of the On U Sound family, showcasing a diverse range of musical styles. EFA released some remastered titles with slightly altered cover artwork before going under in 2004. However, On-U Sound was relaunched in 2002 and made a powerful comeback with Little Axe's album 'Stone Cold Ohio' which marked its resurgence.

If you're looking for newer releases from On U Sound, keep an eye out for catalogue numbers starting from ON-U CD 1001 and higher. The Phonographic Copyright (p) and Copyright (c) belong to On-U Sound Records Ltd., ensuring that their unique sound remains protected.

The mighty upsetter returns with 9 brand new tracks recorded with longtime friend and collaborator Adrian Sherwood at the controls. This new set is the culmination of over two years work and recording sessions that span Jamaica, Brazil and the UK. Determined to craft a work of lasting power, Sherwood likens to the album to the work that Rick Rubin did with Johnny Cash on the American Recordings series, a deeply personal work (the album title refers to Lee’s birth name) and arguably the strongest batch of original material that Perry has released for many years. 

From the atmospheric field recording and wah-wah guitar of album opener Cricket On The Moon, to the gothic cello embellishment on Let It Rain, the chopped-and-compressed horn section of Makumba Rock, to the layered, carefully arranged backing vocals like a heavenly chorus throughout the record, this is an album with true love, care and attention poured into it’s every groove. It culminates in the truly extraordinary Autobiography Of The Upsetter, in which Scratch narrates the story of his life from growing up on a plantation in 1930s colonial Jamaica to becoming a worldwide musical superstar.

The story of Lee Perry and Adrian Sherwood collaborating stretches back to the mid-1980s, and a fortuitous meeting brokered by underground broadcasting legend Steve Barker between the dub innovator and UK upstart. This led to the creation of On-U classics such as Time Boom X De Devil Dead and The Mighty Upsetter, as well as Lee gracing Dub Syndicate records with some vital vocal injections.
