French Connection produced by Lee Scratch Perry for Unknown Label in 1969
French Connection Riddim came out in 1969 from Lee Scratch Perry for an unknown label, and it keeps things tight with just three cuts: Dillinger’s Connection, Lee Scratch Perry’s French Connection, and The Upsetters’ French Connection Chapter 2. The selection leans heavily on Perry’s own production voice, with Dillinger bringing the deejay edge and The Upsetters adding the instrumental side of the story, which gives the set a compact, early-reggae feel rather than a crowded compilation vibe. Perry’s version sits right at the centre, and the short tracklist makes the release feel more like a focused studio showcase than a broad riddim package.
French Connection Tracklist:
- Dillinger – Connection
