Don't sleep on this comp if you haven't heard it. It's the one I reach for whenever I want some Perry or dub in general
Thanks Frown, I definitely have never heard this - or even heard of it. I'll check it out.
I'm not huge into dub, but my typical go-to has been Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires. Kickass album. Probably one of my all-time favorite album covers as well. Reminds me of Ill Bill's debut album cover or the cover of Non-Phixion's 'The Future is Now'. (Now that I think of it though, the art style is probably more similar to 'Lord Willin' by Clipse)

Sad to hear about "Scratch." He did an enormous amount of great work - especially in the 70s.
Tho I agree with Frown most of the time, that "Skanking..." album is one of about 3 dozen dubious,
at best, albums attributed to Lee Perry. No matter how good someone thinks the album is,
it's more of a fudged-up Bunny Lee album because of his noticeable "riddims" while being extremely doubtful that Perry had any hand in creating any of those dubs. It's yet another case of Perry's notoriety being used to sell albums.
I had no clue that was a common practice with Lee Perry, but I can't say I'm surprised.

That would be the great Tony McDermott who's the design king of Greensleeves Records.
He's like the reggae version of Corky McCoy or Pedro Bell!

Interesting, didn't know the name of the artist, thanks Rostasi! And yeah, the Corky comparison is definitely on point, I was appreciating his work as I listened to Miles' 'Water Babies' the other day!
