Truth And Wizdom is an excellent collection of very rare Lee Perry productions, a follow-up to Ascension's earlier Wizdom set. This is one for serious collectors, as it contains songs from seldom heard artists like Easton Clarke and Shenley Duffus, as well as new songs with familiar rhythms. Highlights include Dillinger's "Headquarters", the I Roy's clever "Dread In The West", and Sam Carty's "Brother Man". Leo Graham fans will be delighted to discover two of his scorchers, "Bread And Butter" and "Double Attack". The only sore thumb here is "Yeaha Yeaha Yaa", which is actually "Ugly Man" by The Scorchers (produced by Lloyd Daley). Trainspotters will also notice that a few tunes were not produced by Lee Perry but recorded at the Black Ark.
