Dear, Slappy

Theres lots of undiscovered upsetter tunes out there and Ron has done pretty good job trying to find every single song... but finding every upsetter related tune is an impossible task. Especially when most of the collectors want to keep the knowledge of rarities by themself...

oh totally! ron is the man! but i gotta say...it's indescribably lame in my opinion that people who keep that music to themselves...to what end? to die with the most records?

Well, i must say, it's not all me that should take the credit, really.
A lot of info came from Roxie (chungdejah) as well, and some other friends from my area. All I did was gathering the knowledge and maek it into a website.
And yes, I do know a little about this Upsetter stuff myself.

One of my favourite "secret" Lee Perry production is Robert Palmer's "Love Can Run Faster", found on the b-side to his "Bad Case Of Loving You" Island single.

that's a great one mick!

A few of my 'secret' Black Ark specials:

['Love & Prosperity' by The Gaylads](http://www.smokeyroom.net/07inch/soulproff.htm)

['My Little Sandra' by Leo Graham](http://www.smokeyroom.net/12inch/pm.htm)
I bought this one for 50 cent at Daddy Kool's (of all) some 25 years ago. He didn't know it was a Perry production, as it didn't say on the label, which is probably why the price was this low.

And another [Top Secret](http://www.smokeyroom.net/07inch/topsecret.htm)

I like this one - especially the versionside
