Throughout the latter half of 1973, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry was on a musical high, with his ongoing experimentations with sound resulting in a truly astounding body of work.

Now widely rated by music historians as being among the most influential tracks to be issued during this fascinating period in Jamaican recording history, his productions revolutionised the national sound and were instrumental in laying the foundations for the two primary sub-genres that would come to dominate reggae music throughout the remainder of the decade: roots and dub.

This captivating collection, which forms part of a series of 2CD anthology sets showcasing the very best of Perry’s Jamaican 7” singles, includes many of the most important and popular recordings of the period. Among the many highlights are exceptional sides from such Jamaican musical luminaries as Dillinger, Junior Byles, I Roy, Leo Graham, The Silvertones, and of course Perry himself.

Whether enjoyed as a stand-alone set or a companion volume to the previous compendium in the series – ‘Jungle Lion Chapter 1', this set guarantees over three hours of beguiling and profoundly influential sounds, created by Jamaica’s most innovative producers during a pivotal period of his career.
