Some call him a genius, others claim he's certifiably insane, a madman. Truth is, he's both, but more importantly, Lee Perry is a towering figure in reggae — a producer, mixer, and songwriter who, along with King Tubby, helped shape the sound of dub and made reggae music such a powerful part of the pop music world. Along with producing some of the most influential acts in reggae history, Perry's approach to production and dub mixing was breathtakingly innovative and audacious —no one else sounds like him.

This is a comp I did some time ago. It sourced from both CD and vinyl selecting my personal favourites. The vinyl came mainly from the Build the Ark Trojan release, hence the name of my comp it too long ago to recall the other sources. 

Some people will tell you that the 3 CD Arkology on Island is the definitive Perry. Don’t believe them. This is better, I hope you agree.

I normalised to give a matching output with a vinyl peak of 98%.

The vinyl was copied using:

Linn LP12, Lingo, Ekos and Dynavector XX2 moving coil cartridge.

Via 

Naim 62 pre-amp.

Into

Pioneer PDR-609 CDR.

Using

TDK audio CDR.

EAC rip.
