Talk:Lee "Scratch" Perry

message: There are some errors in the article. The Wailers did never record in The Black Ark studio. They left Perry in April 1971, before The Ark was built. Perry produced the Wailers in recording studios owned by others. That's why artists some years later, like Max Romeo, Gladiators and Junior Murvin, sounds much better with Perry as producer.--Caspiax (talk) 06:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Is he mad tho? I met Lee Perry in Brixton, London, England in 2005. He was walking around with his children and I bought him a drink. He declined anything stronger than orange juice, was very quiet and obviously devoted to his children. I was quite disappointed.  SmokeyTheCat  •TALK• 15:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps he is also playing to his audience, of journalists or whatever. It is one thing to be an insane unknown but when you are a legend with a nutty reputation....perhaps he was just playing it up. I wonder if his music is still any good. It certainly used to be brilliant, I listen to his Congos production a lot. Incredible. Beethoven seemed to go insane as he got older yet his music tells another story which is why I wonder about the music. Shame the Jamaicans are so intolerant of gays; its not like that here on the Caribbean mainland, SqueakBox 13:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I think something should be mentioned in the article about his "eccentricities" claiming aliens helped him make records, etc.  Not quite sure how to do it though.  Josh 13:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does the link to the Upsetters point directly to Lee "Scratch" Perry? I am aware that he has been involved in producing that musical formation, but he himself is not the Upsetters.
* Agreed - there should be a seperate article about the Upsetters, listing key personnel, etc. I may get round to it myself one day, if no-one gets there first! --129.67.30.92 16:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the sentence about the feature film should have the word "definitive" removed. Let history decide its value after it is released. Dface 21:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The film 

message: In regards to the sentence: "Perry has constantly insisted that he burned the Black Ark himself in a fit of rage, but it was most likely an accident due to faulty wiring." Is there any basis for why it was most probably faulty wiring? Perry was a bit of a pyro, it isn't remotely hard to imagine him doing it deliberately. Cheers. 121.44.197.156 07:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not remotely hard to imagine that it could have been an accident that he took credit for, either.  Or that he might claim that it was burned down by the devil or aliens.  At very least that sentence deserves a fact tag.  It now has that.  ta.  Josh (talk) 15:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Later Career" section has more content than his earlier career periods. His most influential works belong to the 60s and 70s. I'm going to reduce and tighten the Later Career section and increase the earlier period material.

thread_title:  Rewrite ideas 

message: I've added a new section on his early life, since I think it's important to get some background. Especially for the people who are asking if he has always been eccentric or did that only happen later in life. If anyone has the Katz biography on Perry and would like to contribute before I get my hands on it that you be ace.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexeud (talk • contribs) 17:26, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
