Damn.

RIP.

I’ve spent many hours of my life listening to his great music. Love especially his “heavy” dub with the upsetters.

I saw him perform at BB Kings in NYC, very memorable performance. He was a kooky guy, but a legend for sure.

"I am a toaster, I am not a boaster" - and there's a toaster on the fence behind him - Jools Holland appears quite puzzled.

The Black Ark recordings are probably the best dub recordings done to 4-track tape ever. True recording genius.... RIP Lee Perry.

 

[Katji]

End of an era.

RIP

Sad news...
I hope Paul McCartney pays a decent tribute in payment for his attempt to free him from the Japanese authorities !

Absolute GIANT. RIP and thanks for the music.
