Produced by Lee Scratch Perry in 1969, Son Of Thunder comes from the early Upsetter years and keeps the line-up tight with just two cuts: Lee Scratch Perry’s Son Of Thunder and The Upsetters’ Thunder Version. It’s a small but telling Perry-era set, with the version side underlining the stripped-down studio feel that was already becoming part of his sound. The release sits squarely in that late-’60s transition between ska, rocksteady, and the more spacious reggae style Perry would keep pushing forward.
