Following the success of their “Super Ape Returns To Conquer” tour & album celebrating Perry’s Super Ape opus, Grammy-winning reggae and dub pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry + Brooklyn’s Subatomic Sound System continue to up the ante, revisiting and reimagining another classic from his catalog, Blackboard Jungle. Perry’s Blackboard Jungle album included dub remixes of hit songs he co-wrote with Bob Marley “Kaya” & “Keep On Movin” (a big 40th anniversary promo for Bob most successful album Kaya is also happened this year) as well as other tunes from The Wailers and Junior Byles. It’s also the first dub album of all time, a collaboration with King Tubby. Recorded while Scratch was constructing the famous Black Ark studio this was not only the dawn of dub as an album concept and genre but also a turning point in Perry’s influence on music history, redefining the producer as an artist and putting independent home studio recording on the map as an alternative to major labels, a huge point of influence from reggae on producers from punk to hip hop to electronic music.
“Late 1973 saw the release of one of the greatest Lee Perry productions ever: UPSETTERS 14 DUB BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, the album better known as Blackboard Jungle Dub. The first fully-fledged Lee “Scratch” Perry dub album, and one of a handful of records vying for the title of “First Dub LP,” the album was initially issued in small quantities in Jamaica on the Upsetter label as a 14-song album mixed with channel separation, like an Esquivel record, with the drum and bass largely in the left speaker, and the guitar and horns in the right; later editions were reduced to 12 songs, and often issued with a monophonic mix (check the Auralux edition for the definitive reissue). Some say King Tubby collaborated with Perry on the release, though Perry has often downplayed or denied Tubby’s involvement. In any case, opening number “Black Panta,” an awesome dub of “Bucky Skank,” had sense-surround drums, roaring sirens and wild guitar licks; “Kasha Macka” re-worked Prince Djang
