1/4. Mark Lamarr profiles Jamaican-born Lee "Scratch" Perry, the flamboyantly unconventional reggae and dub maverick whose work as a mixologist, songwriter and producer of such acts as Bob Marley and the Wailers and the Congos has established him as a key figure in the history of reggae. The series begins with a look at Perry's formative years, when he collaborated with Prince Buster, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Joe Gibbs. Featuring his early Ska recordings and input from Ansell Collins, Gladstone Anderson, Clancy Eccles, Skully "Zoot" Simms, Striker Lee and Sly Dunbar.
