1	Rockers [Original Soundtrack] (1980) more music like this by Various Artists Music is integral to this seminal Jamaican film, as it follows the exploits of drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, who plays himself, and featuring a myriad of other denizens of the music industry in lead roles and bit parts. The movie itself was awash in music, which pours out of clubs, studios, record shops, and radios. The soundtrack features ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
2	Arkology (1997) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Purportedly the definitive Lee "Scratch" Perry compilation, the three-CD set Arkology is loaded with good intentions and is carefully constructed, but with a back catalog like Perry's -- where it's nearly impossible to find out what's what -- definitive in this case is a dream. Still, the compilers have done a fine job of providing an overview of ... see all copies from $38.48! new only from $38.48!
3	The Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry There are so many Lee Perry compilations out there, and some of them are so good, that it's hard to take seriously any one that claims to be the "ultimate." And to be completely fair, it probably isn't possible to compile the ultimate Perry collection on a single disc; there's simply too much material out there, and too much of it is too good. But ... see all copies from $13.42! new only from $13.42!
4	Tibetan Freedom Concert (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Tibetan Freedom Concert was the largest rock charity event of 1997, a two-day event held in June that featured many of the biggest names in rock and rap. Appropriately, it was filmed and recorded with the intention of being released later in the year as a charity record. The triple-disc set The Tibetan Freedom Concert is the extraordinary ... see all copies from $8.33!
5	Panic in Babylon (2004) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Yes, he's a genius, and yes, he's probably certifiably nuts, and yes, that combination of genius and insanity has now yielded several decades of absolutely brilliant (if notoriously inconsistent) music. And yes again, it's true that most of what has come out under his name in the last seven or eight years has been a big disappointment. But the ... see all copies from $12.78! new only from $12.78!
6	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Lee "Scratch" Perry (2004) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Lee "Scratch" Perry is less a performer than a producer, mixer, dub master, and musical auteur, and whether he is crazy as a loon or crazy as a fox will be debated endlessly by Perry buffs. But there is no denying that his peak years as a producer in the mid- to late '70s at his Black Ark Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, were responsible for some of ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!

8	Jamaican E.T. (2002) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry The original Jamaican extra-terrestrial is still going strong and this record marks a return to the power of Lee "Scratch" Perry's most spaced-out work, picking up where his last great record, 1990's From the Secret Laboratory, left off. On Jamaican E.T., Perry creates a contemporary and challenging set by applying his psychedelic dub to roots ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $8.88!
9	This Is Crucial Reggae: Lee Perry (2005) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Few reggae artists have had as many collections of their work gathered as Lee "Scratch" Perry, but then again there aren't too many other writer/performer/producers as prolific either. The majority of the work here comes from the early '70s. "People Funny Boy," "Bucky Skank," and a great nod to Al Green and Memphis soul with "Jungle Lion" stand ... see all copies from $3.19! new only from $8.66!
10	African Roots from the Black Ark (2006) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
11	Mastercuts Presents (2006) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
12 view cover	Words of My Mouth (1996) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry & Various Artists From 1973 to 1975, producer Lee "Scratch" Perry was arguably at the top of his game. His productions, notably Leroy Wallis's "Herb Vendor" and the Junior Byles classic "Curly Locks," were dominating the U.K. reggae charts, and in 1974 he built his own studio, the legendary Black Ark, from which flowed some of the strangest and most beautiful music ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!

14 view cover	History of Trojan Records, Vol. 2: 1972-1995 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This 150-minute, two-disc set is one of the best overviews of classic reggae available. Volume 1 focused on ska and rock steady tracks from the 1960s, and this one consists primarily of material from the '70s and '80s, reggae's classic period. Though Trojan has a reputation for mediocre production quality and shady business dealings with its ... see all copies from $17.53! new only from $17.53!
15 view cover	Return of the Super Ape (1978) more music like this by The Upsetters A follow-up to the highly acclaimed dub opus Super Ape, Return of the Super Ape, like most sequels, never reaches the heights of its predecessor. There are, however, some exceptional moments that make the album worth a careful listen. Most notable are the dark "Psyche and Trim," and the celebratory "Dyon-Anaswa," and the near-comical "Tell Me ... see all copies from $8.01! new only from $8.01!
16 view cover	Reggae Rejoicing (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.12! new only from $4.12!
17 view cover	Battle of Armagideon (Millionaire Liquidator) (1986) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry & the Upsetters "Open your eyes and see/Open your ears and listen," Perry advises on this excellent record, and you would be foolish to ignore this advice. Battle, in many ways, gets to the heart of Perry's technique as a mixer and producer. The bass throbs so much on this record that you would swear it's leaking out of the grooves, and Perry's added sound ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
18 view cover	Trojan Box Set: Ska, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists If Trojan's first ska box was the main course, think of their second as a splendid buffet. While its predecessor was more heavily weighted towards stars and their hits, this one is stuffed with lesser-known gems, with only a handful of tracks that will immediately leap out at the general fan. As with the first volume, the sound quality is poor in ... see all copies from $19.43! new only from $19.43!
19 view cover	From the Secret Laboratory (1990) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Like their first meeting (Time Boom X de Devil Dead), the second collaboration between Lee "Scratch" Perry and his acolyte, Adrian Sherwood, is a perfect mixture of Perry's manic toasting and singing and the sinuous beat supplied by the Sherwood-led Dub Syndicate and the Roots Radics. Money and attacks on capitalism (specifically the World Bank) ... see all copies from $11.73! new only from $11.73!
20 view cover	History, Mystery and Prophesy (1984) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Perry's weakest Island/Mango release. All the rough edges are gone, and Perry's berserk charm is in short supply. Still, because it's Perry, there are tracks to recommend ("Heads of Government" being the most notable), but there are plenty better Perry records to be had. John Dougan, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.00!
21 view cover	Chicken Scratch (1989) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry Of all the reissues from Lee Perry's early career, this is the most illuminating, because it captures the youthful Perry (in his early 20s) singing ska music. Backed by the phenomenal Skatalites, featuring trombonist Don Drummond, saxophonists Tommy McCook and Roland Alphonso, and keyboardist Jackie Mittoo, Perry belts out such Studio One ska/pop ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
22 view cover	The End of an American Dream (2007) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry The End of an American Dream is a collaboration between 71-year-old Lee "Scratch" Perry and Steve Marshall in which Marshall has done all the heavy lifting. It is he who composed the music and played all the instruments on the disc. Those instrumental tracks are full of samples and other computer-generated sounds, including everything from actual ... see all copies from $14.38! new only from $14.38!
23 view cover	Africa's Blood (1972) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry One of the first "albums" released by the Upsetter, this is a good peek into what was happening at the time on the mighty isle of Jamaica. Ska was still in the grips of American R&B, and that influence runs rampant here. But, as always, the personality of Perry shines through and gives each track that Upsetter twist that keeps this stuff from ... see all copies from $8.57! new only from $8.57!
24 view cover	Scratch the Upsetters Again (1995) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry & the Upsetters A terrific reissue of two early-'70s Perry masterworks, Scratch the Upsetters Again and Eastwood Rides Again. The inclusion of the latter is especially significant, for upon its release in 1970 it was considered too outside for mainstream reggae tastes, as it was one of the first attempts by Perry to use dub remixing to explore the outer limits of ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
25 view cover	Son of Thunder (2000) more music like this by Lee "Scratch" Perry A budget-price two-CD compilation boasting 30 cuts from the late '60s and into the '70s. The set is a complete mishmash and offers absolutely no help via liner notes or credits. If you can identify what, when, and with whom these songs were cut, obviously your collection contains better compilations than this, and it's unlikely Son of Thunder ... see all copies from $5.90! new only from $13.08!
