Da-Da produced by Lee Scratch Perry for Upsetter in 1972
Da-Da Riddim – Upsetter is the 1972 Lee Scratch Perry production for Upsetter that pairs Junior Byles’ Da-Da with The Upsetters’ Festival Da-Da. The release sits right in Perry’s early-’70s run, when he was shaping roots reggae with stripped-down rhythms and sharp studio detail, and this one leans on a single-song idea with both vocal and version-style cuts. Junior Byles’ title track is the key cut here, while The Upsetters’ Festival Da-Da keeps the rhythm in play and gives the release its identity as a compact, hard-laced Perry session.
