The archival compilation The Return of Sound System Scratch presents a rare collection of dub plates and unreleased studio material created by Jamaican producer and innovator Lee "Scratch" Perry inside his legendary Kingston laboratory, Black Ark Studios. During the peak of roots reggae and dub in the 1970s, this studio served as the epicenter of experimental analog sound, though its historical legacy was subsequently overshadowed by hundreds of questionable and bootleg compilations.
The 2011 release stands out for its authenticity, featuring hypnotic versions of classic compositions, including an underwater-sounding dub take on Bob Marley’s "Natural Mystic" and a deep, cosmic remix titled "Enter the Upsetter." The tracks preserve raw pre-song studio chatter and extended instrumental fades, establishing an immersive atmosphere of slow-building soundscapes. Complete with detailed liner notes by Pete Holdsworth and an effort to credit all participating musicians, the album captures a definitive cross-section of Jamaican recording history's golden era.
