Lee Scratch Perry cut Pound Get A Blow for an unknown label in 1970, and this two-track set captures one of his early Upsetters-era sides with just enough room to let the horns and rhythm do the talking. Rolando Alphonso and The Upsetters’ Roll On and The Soul Twins’ Pound Get A Blow are the key cuts here, with Alphonso’s sax giving the instrumental a sharp, lively edge. It’s a compact Perry production from the hand-over-hand period between ska and early roots, and the mix of veteran players and a topical title makes it feel firmly tied to that late-’60s, early-’70s Jamaican sound.
