The Upsetters – Africa’s Blood (1972)
A 1972 release, Lee Perry and his group The Upsetters on the Trojan label. All Music Guide trashes the album giving it 1.5/5 stars. I personally find the “simplistic” dubs enjoyable. Some tunes feature guest vocals such as the Jamaican Dave Barker on the funky intro track.
