Editorial Reviews

Review

Return Of The Super Ape is a classic Upsetters album and a cornerstone in the history of reggae music!

Lee Scratch Perry, one of the most revered reggae producers in history, & The Upsetters have sound scanned over 100,000 units collectively!

Special deluxe edition includes an authentic replication of the vinyl version with liner notes and poster!

Lee Scratch Perry has worked as a producer with every great reggae artist, including the legendary Bob Marley & The Wailers. However, Perry is also known as a talented composer of many classic reggae songs and even co-wrote several hit singles for Marley such as Soul Rebel, Duppy Conqueror and Small Axe . Beyond The Super Ape is a stellar example of both Perry s talent as a producer, songwriter and band leader. The album became a must have amongst serious reggae fans and has continued to influence artists to this day. It is presented here in a special, limited deluxe edition that will have music fans falling in love all over again! --Cleopatra Records --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential stuff but try to get The Original Super Ape!, October 27, 2003
This review is from: Return of the Super Ape (Audio CD)
This album is a must for Lee Perry fans and reggaelovers alike! However, try to get a copy of 'The Original Super Ape', which incorporates the 'Return of the super ape' album with 5 rare bonus tracks added!

For me the absolute killers on this 1978 Black Ark album are (amongst others) the mindbending "Jah Jah ah Natty Dread" & "Psycha & Trim" (both with divine Perry madness/beauty/mastership) and the unique and incredibly beautiful "Bird in Hand"...

Hail to the mighty Upsetter!

5.0 out of 5 stars strictly "the best", June 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Return of the Super Ape (Audio CD)
If you're only going to buy one single Perry LP, let it be this one. It's got the songs, it's got the dub, it's got the Africa, and more than enough Perry madman activity to blow any and all listeners completely away. "Bird in Hand" is one of the strangest, most beautiful songs ever. Great range of styles from the "peak" period, defying all categories...

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this CD, September 18, 2006
This review is from: Return of the Super Ape (Audio CD)
Picture being in Jamaica in 1976 in a dancehall with the smell of ganga wafting through the air, the music verberating and dancers winding their bodies. This CD is filled with chaos. Lee "Scratch" Perry explores the sounds that surround him and puts it into his songs. The listener can either be dancning or relaxing which is what makes "Return of the Super Ape" unique. This is a collection to hold onto.
