High Plains Drifter

VINYL FORMAT. The years 1968 to 1973 were truly extraordinary for Lee Perry: He founded his own Upsetter imprint, had UK Top 5 chart success, toured the UK & Europe, and released a staggering 280 plus singles and over twenty albums. High Plains Drifter rides in with saddles bags of lost musical gems from these creative years. Perry's passion for Spaghetti Westerns lands right in Sergio Leone territory. With R&B influenced horns (a trademark on many of his early productions) he pushes musical boundaries working with ex-mento star Count Sticky, who provided "Jive talking" inspired intros and exultations over Perry's sharp rhythms. This album pulls together 20 undocumented Jamaican singles (& one dub plate) that beautifully showcase these influences and Perry's development as a producer.
