17.Jun.2009 The Upsetters – Clint Eastwood
***Western Reggae Cover Art Week***
There were only two Upsetter albums released on the Pama imprint — Many Moods of the Upsetter (SECO 24, 1970) and Clint Eastwood (PSP 1014, 1970). Both albums feature the organ driven sound characteristic of most early Lee Perry reggae productions, with a mixture of instrumental and vocal tunes. Clint Eastwood, as the name suggests, includes several western-inspired instrumentals. Aside from the title track, the theme is represented by “Return of the Ugly,” “For a Few Dollars More,” and “Taste of Killing.”
The Upsetters’ Clint Eastwood, a classic album, is highly recommended. Once a pricier Pama release, the value seems to have dropped within the last couple years. A VG+ copy should run about 40+ GBP.
