Return of Django

Includes liner notes by David Katz.
This record from the Upsetter's catalog contains some of his best-known work from the end of his ska period. Included are tracks like "Return of Django" and "Cold Sweat," both significant hits for Scratch. Soon, very soon, Perry would move afield from what is here, moving toward something this record only drops dark hints about. For those who love the later stuff, this will make you shake your head at how far he came and how quickly. For those who like the sound of an earlier Jamaica, this record has its own rewards. ~ Rob Ferrier
