Elusion Riddim – Upsetter

Elusion Riddim – Upsetter is a 1970 Lee Scratch Perry production for Upsetter, with four cuts led by Teddy and The Upsetters on Elusion and Val Bennett and The Upsetters on Big John Wayne. The set also includes The Untouchables’ Confusion and The Upsetters’ Confusion Version, tying the whole release to a tight early Upsetter sound. Perry’s name sits at the center of the project, and the riddim also turns up in his wider 1970 catalog, which helps place it in that run of stripped-back, version-driven Jamaican recordings.
