The FNPS: Episode 73 - Lee ”Scratch” Perry (09-03-2021)

After an unintended three-week hiatus, we're back! The mic cacked out halfway through the live broadcast and I had to re-record all the dialogue between songs, which was complicated by the too-loud air show happening right.over.my.head (and the reason why I sound so nonplussed in much of this episode). So, apologies for the hiatus and the delay, but without any further ado, this week, we have a brief retrospective on Lee "Scratch" Perry, who passed away on August 29th. The length and breadth of the man's career make it impossible to cover adequately in a single two-hour block, but I sure did my best.
