'Return of the Super Ape' is a rare vintage gem from Bob Marley's former DJ. Recorded in Perry's "laboratory" in the 1970's, it has an eerie, mystical feel to it with haunting echoes and jungle melodies. It's a must-have for serious lovers of reggae music.

If you're only going to buy one single Perry LP, let it be this one. It's got the songs, it's got the dub, it's got the Africa, and more than enough Perry madman activity to blow any and all listeners completely away. "Bird in Hand" is one of the strangest, most beautiful songs ever. Great range of styles from the "peak" period, defying all categories...


For me the absolute killers on this album are (amongst others) the mindbending "Jah Jah ah Natty Dread" & "Psycha & Trim" (both with divine Perry madness/beauty/mastership) and the unique and incredibly beautiful "Bird in Hand
