Lee Perry, nicknamed "Scratch", sung, produced, and dubbed so many albums, that it is hard to start making a selection. Below we made a division into :
Albums with Lee Perry singing himself, and collections,
Albums which Lee Perry produced, and samplers of them,
Dub Albums by Lee Perry, and collections of them. And two
great Lee Perry CD box collections on top, to jump-start your classic Lee Perry collection. Mind you, that this is still far from Lee Perry's complete discography,
just three selections of what we consider the best Lee Perry albums still available.
