Lee Perry’s time at WIRL Records, later to be renamed Dynamic Sounds Studios, was a very productive time in his career. A run of great singles and the shaping of a new sound, the beginning of what we know today as Reggae . This period at WIRL saw some inspired work from Perry.
‘Run For Cover’ was a musical blow to a previous employer, Coxsone Dodd and featured the Sensations on backing vocals and Lynn Taitt’s guitar picking skills. ‘People Funny Boy’ was a massive hit for Perry going on to sell over 60,000 copies. Joe Gibbs would be at the end of this musical attack. Perry had felt Joe Gibbs had turned his back on him, after he had provided hits for groups like, The Pioneers amongst others. The song would be one of the first records to feature a New Beat (Reggae) inspired by the sounds coming out of a Pocomania Church, Perry had heard one night.The congregation inside, wailed in a more slower way than the current musical style of the time Ska!.
Perry worked up this new style with Clancy Eccles, who would come under attack himself in ‘You Crummy’. Their closeness, which as detailed in that song would find them, ‘Even shared the same Gal’ but ‘Now it’s plain to see we reached the end’. ‘Set Them Free’ was an answer record to Prince Buster’s ‘Judge Dread’ (which had featured Perry on it) a plea to the Judges in Jamaica that handed out extremely harsh sentences to the young offenders of the time. The track was cut on the same rhythm as ‘Run For Cover’ . ‘Django Shoots First’ inspired by the Spaghetti Western film of the same name, features Sir Lord Comic.
One of the early DJ’s who used a jive talking style over rhythms.
WIRL Records provided an important chapter in Lee Perry’s career and indeed to the story of Reggae itself.
