"The Upsetter"

Looks very interesting, thanks Erik.
Sadly it won't be playing anywhere near me, so I'm trying to get hold of a DVD copy.
 
A couple of points after I just watched it:

Scratch disliked the Congos. Burned their recording studio. Weird.
Scratch lives in Switzerland. Weird.
Scratch and Paul/Linda McCartney recorded some songs. Weird.
 
For me his best work was 1975 with war in a Babylon the track Norman outstanding pity about the toaster . First heard this track as a 12 inch without a toaster on John Peel i Listen to john peel show every night just for the two reggae tracks he played.

Also this reminds me of Barry Island and The fryers arms cellar disco where we had some great tracks being played

one step forward / max romeo

war in a Babylon / Max romeo

who the cap fits/ Bob Marley

Hit the road jack /Big youth

Train to Rhodesia / Big youth

funk tracks

movin/ Brass Construction

foot stompin music/ Hamilton Bohanon


anyone else work at butlins Barry in 1976 Fell in love with wales and the welsh great people

I saw The Don at WOMAD last year, & his performance was my favourite of the entire festival.
Lee Scratch Perry & Jah Shaka too. I'm jealous of Fanny Cradock going to Glastonbury, which is something I never expected. :)
 
After a longish search, I'm delighted to have finally snagged a DVD of the film.
