Place In The Sun Riddim – Upsetter, Pama, Magnet

Place In The Sun produced by The Now Team, Lee Scratch Perry, Bunny Striker Lee for Upsetter, Pama, Magnet in 1971

Produced by The Now Team, Lee Scratch Perry and Bunny Striker Lee for Upsetter, Pama and Magnet in 1971, Place In The Sun Riddim pulls together a compact set of early-70s cuts anchored by David Isaacs’ Place In The Sun, Slim Smith’s A Place In The Sun and Dennis Alcapone’s Freedom Scank. Sly and Robbie with The Aggrovators add the dub-side angle with Sunny Place Dub, which helps give the riddim its lean, sunlit feel and its period-correct mix of vocal harmony, deejay style and echo-heavy studio craft. It’s a neat snapshot of the era’s crossover energy and a good fit for the classic Lee Perry/Bunny Lee orbit.
