Tight Spot produced by Lee Scratch Perry, Maurice Jackson for Upsetter, Tafari in 1970
Produced by Lee Scratch Perry and Maurice Jackson for Upsetter and Tafari in 1970, Tight Spot gathers a sharp early-Upsetter instrumental with later vocal and version cuts around the same rhythm. The set brings together The Upsetters’ Tight Spot, Leroy Sibbles’ Total Destruction, and The Heptones with Baba Leslie on Revolution, with The Tafari All Stars and Baba Leslie closing the circle on Total Destruction Version. It leans into that roots-era studio style Perry was shaping at the time, where the rhythm, the dubby feel, and the vocal reworks all sit close together.
