Who The Cap Fit Riddim – Upsetter

Lee Scratch Perry produced Who The Cap Fit for his Upsetter label in 1970, and this two-track set captures that early Wailers era in a stripped, rootsy form. Bob Marley and The Wailers lead off with Man To Man (Who The Cap Fit), while The Upsetters’ Nicoteen gives the flip a tighter instrumental edge; it’s the kind of release that shows Perry shaping the Wailers’ sound before the song was later reworked as Who The Cap Fit. With just two cuts and a lean lineup, it comes off as a classic early-’70s Perry session: direct, moody, and firmly rooted in the dubwise momentum that defined the Upsetter catalogue.
