"A classic album from the Upsetter himself, the incomparable Lee 'Scratch' Perry, receives the proper remastered release it deserves from the reissue masters at Get On Down. Previous releases of Blackboard Jungle Dub were either poor quality or only available in box-sets, but now the album is finally presented in high quality digital audio and packaged in a paste-on mini-LP jacket featuring the original album artwork. Widely considered the first full-length dub LP, Blackboard Jungle Dub pairs Perry with another Jamaican legend -- engineer King Tubby -- and embodies the Upsetter's loose, instinctive sonic approach, with instrumentals stripped down to the bare elements and then brilliantly reassembled as only he can do. Standouts include 'Dreamland Dub,' 'Dub From Africa' and 'Moving Forward.' Another superb reissue that underscores Get On Down's commitment to high quality releases."

"Placed within legendary reggae producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry's prolific discography, The Upsetters' Chapter 1 stands out as one of the eccentric genius's most interesting, adventurous works. Using a combination of established collaborators and new musicians, Perry creates a classic dub record that pulses with deep bass, echoing percussion and dissonant sound effects. Spiritual cuts ('When Jah Come') are balanced by grand dub productions ('Tighten Up'), creating a cohesive, infectious sound that rivals the Upsetter's finest material. After releasing Perry's landmark album Blackboard Jungle Dub, Get On Down is proud to present another masterpiece from reggae's supreme musical architect. Remastered from the original analog tapes, The Upsetters Chapter 1 features the highest quality audio transfer and is packaged in a paste-on mini-LP with slip case and clear plastic poly bag, with art based on the original LP picture sleeve."
