The Complete UK Upsetter Singles series is a fantasic collection of all of the 7" singles that were relased on the Upsetter UK label between 1969 and 1973. In 1969, Scratch was responsible for some of the tightest and grooviest reggae being made in Jamaica, and the excellent Volume One contains 50 examples of that early Upsetter sound. While this music represents Scratch's production at its most commercial, there are a few upsetting moments, such as the berserk "Mad House" and the bizarre "Tackro". From start to finish, this is wonderful, straight up first wave reggae at its best. Essential listening for any Lee Perry fan.
