THE UPSETTERS DOUBLE SEVEN LP UK ORIG LEE PERRY
THE UPSETTERS - DOUBLE SEVEN . ORIGINAL 1973 TROJAN (UK) LP (First issue with overstickered tracklisting on raer of sleeve). While there are a few guest vocalists here, it is the Upsetters' marvelous instrumentals that make this album so enjoyable. Although slower than earlier albums like Africa's Blood and Rhythm Shower, the rhythms here are generally a bit faster than the crawling, bass-heavy tunes that Lee Perry and The Upsetters would put out a bit later (as on Super Ape). Three of the group's (and Perry's) best beats of all time are included: the seminal "Kentucky Skank," with its bouncy bass line, soaring horns, and running water (!), the gorgeous, space-aged synthesizer opus "Long Sentence," and the zany romp "Waap You Waa," where the music pauses occasionally for a grunting "uh-huh" or "mm-hmm." A couple of strong, almost jazzy instrumentals bolster Double Seven: "In the Iaah" and the horn-filled "Jungle Lion." There is a lot of Scratch magic here.!!! TRACK LISTING AS FOLLOWS;
