Dreadlocks In Moonlight produced by Lee Scratch Perry for Unknown Label in 1975
Lee Scratch Perry’s 1975 Dreadlocks In Moonlight riddim comes through with a small but telling lineup that ties Perry’s own “Big Neck Police” and the title cut to Mikey Dread’s “Dread At The Mantrols, ” showing how the rhythm moved between Perry’s voicing and an early Mikey Dread interpretation. Produced by Perry for an unknown label, it sits firmly in the roots era and reflects the Black Ark period where Perry was shaping sparse, heavy rhythms into distinctive dubwise recordings. The title track is the key cut here, and Mikey Dread’s inclusion adds a useful second voice to the set.
