1	Dub-Triptych (2004) more music like this by Lee Perry & the Upsetters Lee "Scratch" Perry's eccentric persona (he's either crazy as a loon or crazy as a fox) often obscures the incredibly innovative approaches he brought to Jamaican music, and his kitchen-sink recording methods likewise cloak the very real vision behind his one-of-a-kind creations. Perry is quite simply reggae's one true auteur, and no matter who is ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $23.34!
2	War Ina Babylon (1976) more music like this by Max Romeo & the Upsetters Like the epochal Police & Thieves by Junior Murvin, which also originated at Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark Studio and thus shares with this album Perry's trademark dark, swampy ambience, War ina Babylon is something of a mountain on the reggae landscape. But what makes it so remarkable is not just the consistently high quality of the music -- ... see all copies from $15.20! new only from $15.20!
3	The Story of Jamaican Music: Tougher Than Tough (1993) more music like this by Various Artists A superlative introduction to the world of Jamaican music, Tougher Than Tough is a treasure trove of information, filled with unforgettable music. Across four discs and 95 songs, this set spans the entire history of the island's vibrant music scene, hitting all the major stylistic bases along the way, and rounding up many of Jamaica's greatest ... see all copies from $127.49!
4	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 $12.20! new only from $12.20!
5	Double Seven (1996) more music like this by The Upsetters This set finds the Upsetters in transition. Like most others on the island, here he's still under the spell of American soul music, evident in his joyous cover of "Soul Man." Things are starting to fray around the edges, though, in that wonderful Upsetter fashion. "Kentucky Skank" is strong evidence of this, as is the magnificently loony "Waap You ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
6	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!
7	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 $11.36! new only from $11.36!
8	Reggae's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Heartbeat are steadily issuing CD versions of their vinyl Greatest Hits collections, and it must be said that while the sound quality isn't always the best (it's noted that a number of cuts on this volume were drawn from original vinyl because tape masters don't seem to exist anymore), the sheer fun quotient is very high. Volume 3 of this ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.26!
9	Dub Your Brains Out (2002) more music like this by Various Artists One of the best dub compilations of 2002 came, somewhat surprisingly, from one of the best hardcore punk labels in the U.S. (Though this is a bit less surprising when you consider that all of the material on the album was licensed from RAS, one of the two or three best reggae labels in the U.S.) What makes this particular collection so satisfying ... see all copies from $12.53! new only from $12.53!
10	Eastwood Rides Again (1970) more music like this by The Upsetters At the first listen to Eastwood Rides Again, some might be disappointed that the songs aren't reworkings of Ennio Morricone western theme songs. The album artwork gives every indication that the tracks will pull their influence from old-time westerns. Eastwood Rides Again doesn't take western themes as a primary influence, but instead draws on ... see all copies from $20.00!
11	This Is Reggae Music, Vol. 3 (1976) more music like this by Various Artists One of a handful of introductory reggae collections on Mango, This Is Reggae Music, Vol. 3 takes in some prime early roots sides by the likes of Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Burning Spear. The spotlight, though, rests on the idiosyncratic one with the spliff: Lee "Scratch" Perry. From those innovative days in the late '60s and early '70s to the ... see all copies from $15.00!
12 view cover	Black Top Blues-A-Rama, Vol. 4: Down & Dirty (1990) more music like this by Various Artists All Houston saxman Grady Gaines and hit Texas Upsetters. Cut live in '89 at Tipitina's. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.99!
13 view cover	Soulful Grooves: R&B Instrumental Classics, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists This is a nice cross-section of instrumentals that did well on the R&B charts in the 1960s, with several of them crossing over to pop success. A nice mixture of well-known hits (Slim Harpo's "Baby, Scratch My Back," King Curtis' "Memphis Soul Stew" and "Soul Twist," Ramsey Lewis' "The In Crowd," Booker T. and the MGs' "Hang 'Em High," King Curtis ... see all copies from $13.58!
14 view cover	Battle Axe [Trojan UK] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists You won't see Lee Perry's name anywhere on this album unless you look very hard for the producer credit, which is in tiny print on the back. And it's probably true that he doesn't perform on any of these tracks, many of which are instrumentals by the Upsetters, and others that feature such well-known singers as Junior Byles, Delroy Wilson, and ... see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	Skinhead Jamboree: Ultimate Collection (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $30.70!
16 view cover	Bashment (1998) more music like this by Lee Perry & the Upsetters A wild ride across the late '60s/early '70s, Bashment bundles up a batch of Lee Perry's own numbers and productions, including both vocal tracks and instrumentals, from the rocksteady and early reggae years. Chronologically challenged and thematically diverse, the ride is a bumpy one, but entertaining nonetheless. The earliest numbers date from ... see all copies from $4.33!
17 view cover	Vee Jay Rhythm & Blues: The Soul Era, Pt. 1 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.49!
18 view cover	Ape-ology [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Lee Perry & The Upsetters A godsend if ever there was one, this two-disc reissue set combines three of Lee "Scratch" Perry's quirkiest and most fascinating LPs, 1976's Super Ape and 1978's Return of the Super Ape and Roast Fish, Collie Weed & Cornbread, in one package along with seven rare and related bonus tracks. It's all vintage Perry, who was at the peak of his powers ... see all copies from $19.61! new only from $19.61!

20 view cover	Fire/Fury Records Story (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Although the sequencing is a little too scholarly to be truely compulsive listening, the 51-track, double-disc box set The Fire/Fury Records Story contains the majority of the major songs recorded for the seminal blues and R&B label. Apart from Elmore James, Wilbert Harrison, Lightnin' Hopkins, Gladys Knight and Lee Dorsey, King Curtis and Mighty ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $29.99!
21 view cover	Medley Train (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Generally when a singer or a band does a medley of their hits it's a sure sign that the well has run dry, but in Jamaica the medley form developed into a minor art form on its own, and thanks to the mutability of reggae rhythms, what often emerges is an intriguing composition in its own right. This set includes several such medleys by Jamaican ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
22 view cover	History of Trojan Records, Vol. 1: 1968-1971 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The first of a two-volume overview, History of Trojan Records, Vol. 1: 1968-1971 takes in the golden days of the '60s, when ska, rocksteady, and early reggae dominated the dancehalls. Including 60 tracks spread over two discs, the mix covers early ska instrumentals (Tommy McCook & the Skatalites' "Silver Dollar"), harmony cuts (the Paragons' "The ... see all copies from $23.23! new only from $23.23!
23 view cover	Upsetters a Go Go (1995) more music like this by The Upsetters Much has been written about the ever-stranger Lee "Scratch" Perry, master of the Black Ark and now off doing it dubwise in Switzerland or somesuch, but the Upsetters themselves have been glossed over to a surprising degree. This is really a shame, because two Upsetters members ended up as the rhythm core of the Wailers, and the legacy of this ... see all copies from $40.19! new only from $40.19!
24 view cover	The Trojan Story, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This double-vinyl album was released in 1976, and judging by the track listing, may have been single-handedly responsible for the advent of Two-Tone. "Long Shot Kick De Bucket," "Red Red Wine," and "Guns of Navarone" -- you can bet every band of the day owned at least one copy. Music fans have learned to lower their expectations when it comes to ... see all copies from $18.78! new only from $18.78!
25 view cover	Prisoner of Love (1996) more music like this by Dave Barker Meets The Upsetters see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
