Product Description
CD Description
By the latter half of the seventies, disco-mixes – extended versions of tracks - were de rigueur throughout popular music. The trend was particularly suited to reggae, as vocal cuts could be spliced with DJ or Dub cuts to create long-playing versions singles - and there was no greater exponent of the disco-mix format than Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry.
From 1976 to 1980, Perry created some of the most sublime 12” singles ever to see issue and the very best of these works are collected here on this long over due collection, Disco Devil.

I managed to score a few of these originals "back in the day", and they remain some of my most treasured dub-plates. Carlton Jackson's History, Junior Delgado's Sons of Slaves (seek out Sons of Dub!), Raphael Green's Rasta Train and Junior Mervin's (sic) Roots Train No 1 are all blindingly good, and it's nice to find the full length mixes on a CD at last. But throw in George Faith's haunting To Be A Lover, The Heptones' Party Time and Lee Perry's insane disco workout on Max Romeo's Chase The Devil - Disco Devil - and a bunch of other gems and what you've got here is an essential slice of reggae history. This is, as they say, all thriller and no filler. If you're even remotely into Lee Perry's sound, this is unmissable. It's a genius at the height of his powers. Made my week!

ffs! this is truly the cat's baws! 18 slices of 12" magic from a man playing at the top of his game. genius level from amazingly productive black ark period. in my view, cd1 demonstrates the invention, cd2 concentrates on the spirit of roots, but the whole package bulges with quality. if forced at knifepoint to name a highlight, i would go for watty barnett's "rainy night in portland".supreme! for anyone wishing to experience lee perry's work, start with this, "sipple out deh", "super ape", and "essential madness from the upsetter files", and then branch out to where the fancy takes you.

Duplicated elsewhere
Excellent collection of Scratch rub-a-dub extended mixes. Twin Roots and Congos tracks a standout. Some of these tracks also appear on the Trojan compilation "Open The Gate" Open... Read more
