Added 27/07/10: Forty-Four slices of Black Ark magic, produced and directed and sometimes starring Lee Perry aka Scratch aka The Upsetter etc. If by some chance you are not familiar with the man’s ouvre then dive right in, Perry’s unique musical vision is one of the wonders and delights of seventies reggae music and runs the gamut from the pure pop of Susan Cadogan to the deep apocalyptic roots of Junior Ainsworth and all points between. Sipple means slippery, by the way.
