The Good, The Bad, and The Upsetters
Western themed reggae album cover art week continues with another album from the Upsetters, this time on Trojan — The Good, The Bad, and The Upsetters (TBL 119, 1970). Although released the same year as Clint Eastwood, the sound is very different as Lee Perry did not produce the album. Most songs have a funky feel and slower tempo.
The release in VG+ condition should run about 20 GBP.
Track Listing:
Capo
Phil The Fluter
Guns Of Navarone
What Do You Say?
Straight To The Head
Red Or Red?

Leroy Sibbles and Barry Llewellyn at Dub Club!
Leroy Sibbles and Barry Llewellyn of Heptones fame are performing at Dub Club next Wednesday, June 24th. The artists will be backed by the Lions.
I’ve only seen Leroy Sibbles perform once in 2006, backed by local musicians The Expanders. His performance was my favorite of the night, and the only artist who has ever moved me to tears (what can I say, I love The Heptones!). He sung many of the Heptones’ rocksteady classics and played bass on some of the foundation tunes he helped compose.
I am very excited to see two of the original Heptones in concert this coming week, and if it’s anything like the last Leroy Sibbles performance, it will be a truly moving musical experience. Los Angeles, get ready for a treat!
