Description
The records incredible power belies an unlikely partnership between one of the worlds greatest producers (and experimenters in sound), Lee Scratch Perry, and vocalist Max Romeo (who by 1976 had performed on over 120 7 singles) Romeo had been transforming from his rude records to writing lyrics with social themes as the era in Jamaica was rife with poverty, gangs, and politically motivated killings. As he was looking to produce protest music at its most powerful alongside music that would never leave the listeners souls, Lee Perry and Max Romeo started collaborating together.
Recorded in two weeks in 1976, utilizing Lee Perrys kitchen sink production, War Ina Babylon is considered part of Lee Perrys holy trinity Black Ark produced LPs released by Island Records (Junior Murvins Police and Thieves and The Heptones Party Time being the other classics LPs in the trinity), this LP continues to find new fans with every passing generation.
