A couple of wonderful tunes from the stables of the great Lee Perry who sadly has passed away. The first from The Creators (Perry himself) called Kimble (a version of Stranger & Gladdy’s Seeing is knowing) is a tune we originally acquired for a paltry amount of pennies in a Bedworth second hand shop (which was filled to the brim with beige coloured white goods) in the early 1980’s. We had no idea who it was until the needle dropped on the very scratched Amalgamated seven inch.
The second Honey Love a vocal featuring one Burt Walters. The B side of this white label (which sadly we don’t own) has the backing track of the A side with the backwards vocal from Burt Walters dropped over the top which was unheard of at the time in reggae or any other gene (possibly). May your genius live on forever Mr Perry.
Nice one! Sad to hear of Lee Perry moving on.
It’s really sad Nic ain’t it? Good to hear from you, hope all is well your side. Pete
Damn shock today to read the news! And no word on cause…
Very sad…upsetting news!
Love the Honey Love/Evol Yenoh track! Never heard that backward vocal before! Mad genius indeed! It was an honor to have seen him perform and to meet and hang out with him!
I know Dr Strangedub, very sad news. Great that you like the Honey Love track, that backwards vocal is bonkers!
