3/4. Mark Lamarr profiles Jamaican-born Lee "Scratch" Perry, the flamboyantly unconventional reggae and dub maverick whose works as a mixologist, songwriter and producer of such acts as Bob Marley and the Wailers and the Congos have established him as one of reggae's key figures.
This edition rewinds to the 70s - a peak period for Perry's Black Ark studio and a golden era for classics by the likes of Junior Marvin , Augustus Pablo and the Congos. Interviewees include producer Bunny "Striker" Lee and musicians Cedric Myton, Clancy Eccles, Noel "Skully" Simms, Gladstone "Gladdy" Anderson, Mikey Zappow, Leroy Sibbles, Boris Gardiner, Max Romeo and Niney.
