    • 2. The Upsetters – Freak Out Skank

    Jungle Lion is such a fun funky recording which aptly displays Scratch’s musical genius. Music connoisseurs will immediately recognise the interpolation of Al Green’s "Love and Happiness" and hear Perry‘s eccentric antics which gives the tune it’s raw edge. The novelty of this recording greets the listener at the very beginning where Scratch imitates the roar of a lion and and then continues throughout in his signature revolutionary style of experimental overdubbing.

    Jungle Lion, released in1973 on the studio album Double Seven, recorded at the Chalk Farm Studios in London by the Upsetters, is a lesson in why this small island native became one of the most influential music producers globally. Later the same year he went on to build The Black Ark Studio at his home in Kingston, Jamaica.
