Lee “Scratch” Perry & The Upsetters – RETURN OF THE SUPER APE (Limited Green/Red/Yellow Split Vinyl) LP

Originally released in 1978, Return of the Super Ape is one of the most mysterious and sonically adventurous dub records ever created. Produced at Lee “Scratch” Perry’s legendary Black Ark Studio, the album pushes the boundaries of reggae with swirling tape effects, cavernous echoes, ghostly percussion, and Perry’s unmistakable psychedelic production style.

Often considered a darker and more experimental companion to Super Ape, the record finds Perry at the peak of his creative powers, transforming familiar reggae rhythms into something otherworldly. Tracks drift in and out of space with bubbling basslines, haunting vocal fragments, and layers of analog studio wizardry that helped define the sound of dub.

This limited edition pressing on green red yellow split vinyl gives the album a striking visual presentation that matches the cosmic feel of the music itself. A must own for dub collectors, reggae fans, and anyone interested in the outer limits of 1970s studio experimentation.

Essential late era Black Ark dub from one of the most influential producers in reggae history.
