Lee Scratch Perry - History Mystery Prophesy
Pickup available at Unit 8 Silver Arcade
Usually ready in 24 hoursA genre-defying trip through Lee "Scratch" Perry's eccentric genius, History Mystery Prophesy blends dub reggae with synth-pop experimentation to create an album unlike anything else in his catalog. Originally released in 1984 on Island/Mango, this record finds Perry at a crossroads - his trademark rawness tempered by polished production, yet still brimming with his unmistakable psychedelic flair. Tracks like "Heads of Government" and "Mr. Music" showcase Perry’s ability to weave political commentary and spiritual musings into hypnotic grooves, while cuts like "The Ganja Man" lean into his weed-worshipping mystique. A bold and unconventional chapter in Perry’s storied career, this album remains a fascinating artefact of the Upsetter’s boundless creativity.
