    Lee "Scratch" Perry Lee "Scratch" Perry And Friends: Disco Devil - The Jamaican Discomixes

    Island

    By the latter half of the seventies, disco-mixes – extended versions of tracks - were a vital part of popular music;  and there was no greater exponent of the disco-mix format than Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry. From 1976 to 1980, Perry created some of the most sublime 12” singles ever to see issue and the very best of these works are collected here on this long over due collection, Disco Devil.
