The theme continues with yet another Upsetters realease, a reggae band who (along with the Crystalites), released plenty of Western-influenced material. The Return of Django (TRL 19, 1969) includes many of The Upstters most well-known early reggae tracks, including a personal favorite “Night Doctor.”

This album sold many copies and the original is fairly easy to obtain. A VG+ copy should run about 20 GBP.

Track Listing:

Return of Django
Touch of Fire
Cold Sweat
Drugs and Poison
Soulful I
Night Doctor

One Punch
Eight for Eight
Live Injection
Man From M.I.5
Ten To Twelve
Medical Operation

Return of Django (Gatefold)

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?

Mellow Mood
Family Man
Oney (Happy Clap)
Mama Look (Monkey Man)
Snow White
The Good The Bad & The Upsetters

Upsetters Front

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.

Track Listing:

Return of the Ugly
For a Few Dollars More
Prisoner of Love (Dave Barker)
Dry Acid (Intro/DJ by Count Sticky)
Rightful Ruler (Chatting by U Roy w/ Peter Tosh)
Clint Eastwood

Taste of Killing
Selassie (Reggae Boys)
What is This (Reggae Boys, same as “Ba Ba” on Gas)
Ain’t No Love (David Isaacs)
My Mob
I’ve Caught You (Intro/DJ by Count Sticky)
