The LP opens with the eerie “Kentucky Skank”, Perry’s ode to KFC, complete with frying chicken sounds, spliced between winding tapes, a ghostly trumpet, and futuristic moog synthesizer, overdubbed at London’s Chalk Farm studios. U Roy’s “Double Six” and I Roy’s “High Fashion” & “Hail Stones” illustrate just how strong The Upsetter’s deejay material had become, while versions of the ChiLites’ “We Are Neighbours”, Sam & Dave’s “Soul Man” and a reworking of Al Green’s “Love and Happiness” retitled “Jungle Lion” all betray the funky soul influence that was increasingly shaping his work.

Official Double Vinyl

Twice the wax, double the depth. Double LPs spread music across two records to preserve sound quality and include bonus tracks, alternate takes, or extended mixes. A premium choice for albums that deserve more space to breathe.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.

Official LP Vinyl

The classic long-playing record — rich, warm, and timeless. LPs usually hold a full album, pressed at 33⅓ RPM, offering the most authentic way to experience music as artists intended. Ideal for home listening and collectors who love the ritual of the needle drop.

Official Silver Vinyl

Silver Vinyl brings a clean, reflective look to the format, often used for special editions, anniversary pressings, and limited runs. The metallic finish adds a subtle sense of occasion while keeping the focus firmly on the music and the quality of the pressing. Whether it’s a modern release or a classic reissue, silver vinyl offers a distinctive alternative to standard black. It’s ideal for collectors who appreciate thoughtful presentation and for anyone looking to add something visually striking to their record collection without losing its timeless feel.
