Most tracks unavailable for 20+ years. By the summer of 1971, Lee 'Scratch' Perry was widely recognised as Jamaica's most creative music-maker. Since launching his career as an independent producer in 1968, his experimentations with sound and style had resulted in some of the most exciting and popular works to see issue during reggae's formative years. Now, primarily employing one of the island's most accomplished band, The Now Generation as his regular session crew, the sound of Perry's output from the latter half of 1971 contrasted strongly with the more rugged style the epitomised many of his earlier productions. Otherwise, however, his general approach to music-making remained unaltered and during this six-month period, he released a series of popular singles by some of Kingston's finest, performing a variety of compositions that ranged from covers of soul and pop songs to original early roots material. As a stand-alone compilation or an accompaniment set to previous Doctor Bird anthologies of Perry's Jamaican singles, 'Better Days' is a must for any serious fan of his always compelling work, as well as all enthusiasts of classic reggae sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Freeman - Don't Give Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Don't Give Up Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDonald Smythe - Where Love Goes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hurricanes - You Can Run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Isaacs - Just Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Untouchables - Can't Reach You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahalia Saunders - Right On The Tip Of My Tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Right On The Tip Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Romeo - Ginalship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Ginalship Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHortense Ellis - Piece Of My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Piece Of My Heart Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanny ; The Flames - Zion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Adis Ababians - Zion Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahalia Saunders - Suspicious Minds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunior Byles - Beat Down Babylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Ital Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDennis Alcapone - Alpha and Omega\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinston Wright - Example Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 3rd ; 4th Generation - Example Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLloyd Parks - Mighty Cloud Of Joy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Mighty Cloud Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLee Perry - Inna Iwah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Inna Iwah Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShenley Duffus - To Be A Lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - I Forgot To Remember\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDennis Alcapone - Africa Stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Version 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunior Byles - Poor Chubby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Carltons - Better Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusty Brown - My Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJunior Byles - Come Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hurricanes - Walking The Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bleechers - Jump And Rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Viceroys - Come On Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bleechers - Trying My Faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Viceroys - Fancy Clothes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Righteous Flames - One Love One Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eU Roy - Rhythm Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - King Alpha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShenley Duffus - Bet You Don't Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Upsetters - Ring Of Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5013929286849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doctor Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doctor Bird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48073951445092,"sku":"5665","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/2777\/4052\/files\/4433937-3404428.jpg?v=1773696092","url":"https:\/\/latchkeyrecords.com\/products\/lee-scratch-perry-presents-better-days-jamaican-lee-scratch-perry-presents-better-days-jamaican-cd","provider":"Latchkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
