Synopsis

Album Description
Lee "Scratch" Perry is one of the most important musical figures of the 20th Century and a unique entity whose works have forever changed the way we think about recorded sound. Perry is rightly hailed as a true originator through the sonic innovations he pioneered at his legendary Black Ark studio during the late 1970s. However, few have heard the incredible first set of recordings he made in the ska years at Studio One during the early to mid 1960s. We are particularly pleased to now present Chicken Scratch Deluxe Edition with a number of bonus tracks from the same era and, for the first time on CD, the original single mixes of 13 of these ska scorchers.

Its ok ya know?

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album is just as one would expect. Early stuff from the scatch meister. Its not bad, nothing too stand out for my self. Just your typical low key ska jams with nice vocals. Fun to put on and jam out to for a bit."
