| Return From Planet Dub CDs (2009)
 $17.09

Lee Perry Biography
The Phil Spector of reggae, genius/madman producer Lee Perry helped invent dub and revolutionize the use of a studio as a musical instrument while at the same making some of the most sumptuous and grooving reggae records of the '70s, classics including Max Romeo's "War Ina Babylon," Junior Murvin's "Police And Thieves," George Faith's "To Be A Lover," and Perry's own "Curly Locks," among many others. A genuine aural collagist, his visionary, bizarre sonic palette combined radical studio effects with literally anything he could imagine, be it sound effects, stream-of-consciousness spoken commentary, or dialogue from American TV shows. Perry is a towering figure, and one whose influence has spread well beyond reggae.
