    I Am The Upsetter Riddim - Amalgamated, Joe Frasier

    I Am The Upsetter produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Joe Gibbs, Niney The Observer, Lloyd Campbell for Amalgamated, Joe Frasier in 1967

    Built around Lee Scratch Perry’s 1967 original I Am The Upsetter, this Amalgamated and Joe Frasier riddim links early roots material with later vocal cuts from the 2007 era. The tracklist brings together Dennis Alcapone’s Upsetter Version, Freddie McGregor’s I Pray, Marcia Griffiths’ I Told You, Max Romeo’s Chi Chi Bud, and Mikey General’s Father And God Almighty, alongside Perry’s own I Am The Upsetter and Upsetting Version. The set is credited to Lee Scratch Perry, Joe Gibbs, Niney The Observer, and Lloyd Campbell, with Joe Frasier’s imprint tying the older foundation to a broader compilation-style selection. It also captures that classic Upsetter atmosphere while moving across generations of artists, from Perry and Lynn Taitt and The Jets to voices like Tarrus Riley and Terry Linen.
