Review: Scratch Came Scratch Saw Scratch Conquered is the 2008 album by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, legendary Jamaican producer, composer and singer known for his innovative studio techniques and pioneering contributions to dub music. From his Black Ark Studio in Kingston, Perry produced for artists like Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, and The Congos. Relocating to Switzerland later in his career, Perry continued to innovate, collaborating with The Beastie Boys, The Clash, and George Clinton. This album is the second in a trilogy created with English musician and producer Steve Marshall, also known as John Saxon. Featuring guest appearances by George Clinton and Keith Richards, Scratch Came Scratch Saw Scratch Conquered showcases Perry's enduring influence and creativity. The 2LP limited edition is pressed on translucent green vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve, with only 1500 individually numbered copies available. This release is ideal for fans of Perry's groundbreaking work in dub and beyond.

Review: Hey, Mr. Music! The expertly rediscovered North West London soul singer Candy McKenzie (sister of Bunny McKenzie) hears her Trojan Records debut, and only album, reissued through MOV. "Upset" by Lee Perry of all people - the late great dub producer titularly "introduces" McKenzie as person of interest here - this sole LP from McKenzie, first unearthed in 2011 but recorded unmistakably in the 80s - betrays a nonconformist character, crossing blurrily between percussive lovers rock and bubbly new wave. McKenzie's vocal style is aplomb and vigorous, and is well contrasted to the otherwise soothing laryngeals of Perry's many other femme familiars, such as Susan Cadogan.

Review: The legend of the late great musical maverick and fascinating soul that was Lee 'Scratch' Perry will never diminish, such was the impact of what he did in the world of dub and reggae. He sure did a lot of it, too, so reissues will always come thick and fast with the latest being Jamaican E.T.. It came on February 5, 2002 via the Sanctuary/Trojan label and went on to win the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. His psychedelic dub roots are at the heart of each tune with elements of modern, roots and lovers rock all featuring. Check his cover of 'I'll Take You There' for the real highlight here.
