I was thinking of buying between 5 and 100 CDs of Lee Perry's productions of the 70s and I am a bit lost. I already have Arkology and I was thinking of buying:
Open the gate
Build the ark
Heart of the ark
I am the upsetter
Produced and directed by the upsetter

Are they a good choice? What others should I get?

thank you

Well see this scroll all the way down I listed some crucial compilations.

nough info overthere

A couple of great early comps are "Dry Acid" and "Words of My Mouth" on Trojan. "Voodooism" on Pressure Sounds is excellent as well. Happy hunting.

Just buy them all then.

For detailed reviews on many Lee Perry CDs, check out my Scratch website:

Of the ones I have heard (and can think of right now) I would recommend:

Voodooism (Pressure Sounds)
Ape-ology (Trojan)
Baffling Smoke Signal (Heartbeat)
Dub-Triptych (Trojan)
Dubstrumentals (Trojan)
The Upsetter Selection: A Lee Perry Jukebox (Trojan)

my advice is :

Voodooism
Build The Ark
Open The Gate
Message From The Sky

edit : "Born In The Sky", not "Message..."
