Eternal Thunder is back!

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Newsflash from Sleeper Headquarters: Eternal Thunder is back!

This is…upsetting! After two years of inactivity, Eternal Thunder, the "official unofficial" Lee 'Scratch' Perry website, is back online and better than ever.

It took hundreds of hours, dozens of reference sources, and many beers to create the new Eternal Thunder. Pretty much every inch of the website has been rebuilt: new design, a greatly expanded discography, a magazine dedicated to Scratch's music, and a collection of articles and interviews (or, as Scratch calls them, "outerviews"). Collectors and journalists from around the world have helped to make the new Eternal Thunder the most complete source of information on Lee Perry and his music on the web.

The most exciting new addition to Eternal Thunder is Radio Scratch, a monthly podcast that focuses on a certain era or aspect of Scratch's music. Featuring plenty of rare selections and special guest selecters, Radio Scratch is a must for any fan.

Major Announcement: Rhygin Records!!!!!

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Rhygin Records

Rhygin Records is now live and open for business.
It has been 4 years in the making getting this new record label off the ground.
We have been hailed by Turntablelab as THE JA legit record label in the U.S.. When you hear our music, you will think it is straight out of the golden age of reggae, rocksteady, and dub. Strictly rockers, no joke.

We bring you only the hardest rockers and rocksteady tunes on the highest quality vinyl available anywhere. We even use vintage cardstock from the era for our labels. This is no fly by night operation to be sure.

There are major plans already in the works to bring you some rockers tunes that will totally boggle your mind that they did not come from Jamaica and weren't recorded in the 60's and 70's.

The bands and musicians featured on the label include The Sandollars, Rhygin Rockers, and The Rhythm Doctors featuring Cedric Im Brooks.

We have 3 7 inch 45's available for purchase and a 12 inch disco dub is already being mixed down and mastered to be sent to the pressing plant. This disco dub 45 will be the head cornerstone of our foundation as a label, when it is released the ground will quake beneath your feet, it's that good.

Head on over to the site and listen to some sound samples of the records we have in stock, and get ready to be gunned down by the heavy duty sounds of our upcoming projects, I guarantee they will not disappoint, this is just the beginning so get ready. Some things that are also in the pipeline include limited edition slip mats, quality shirts and 2 LP's already underway.

Lee 'Scratch' Perry for Western Consciousness

Lee 'Scratch' Perry for Western Consciousness
BASIL WALTERS Observer staff reporter
Sunday, January 22, 2006
Legendary record producer and recording artist Lee 'Scratch' Perry has been confirmed as the headliner for the 2006 edition of Western Consciousness, slated for for Saturday, April 29, at the Llandilo Cultural, Savannah-la-Mar, Westmoreland.
With negotiations still in progress, other acts that have so far been confirmed to appear on the 18th staging of the annual roots and culture reggae festival, dubbed as a "Celebration of Good Over Evil", are Barrington Levy and Richie Spice.
"We're really in negotiations with a number of artistes, but its a great feeling to have someone of the calibre of Lee Scratch Perry on board," said Worrell King, show promoter.
The media launch, King indicated, is likely to take place on a date as close as possible to Perry's 70th birthday, and will take the form of a party.

Rainford Hugh Perry, aka Scratch or The Upsetter, was born in the parish of Hanover on March 28, 1936.
"Apart from having been a major influence on Bob Marley, Lee Perry is one of reggae's most important producers and a significant artiste in his right," wrote Kevin O' Brien Chang and Wayne Chen in their book Reggae Routes:The Story of Jamaican Music.

Junior Byles' Curly Locks, and Police and Thieves Max Romeo's War Inna Babylon are only a few of the great reggae songs Scratch Perry helped to create, not to mention a large number of dub albums. According to the book, he "is probably second in importance in this field only to dub's inventor, King Tubby."

Lee 'Scratch' Perry was the 2003 Reggae Grammy winner for the album, Jamaican ET, which came out on the Trojan Records label. The Grammy Award coincided with the released of his biography, People Funny Boy written by David Katz.

For his contribution to the development of reggae music, last year Perry was also the recipient of the local Tribute to The Greats Lifetime Achievement Award, given annually by King Omar's Promotions, the Kingsley Goodison-run organisation for the recognition of Jamaica's musical pioneers.

"This (the inclusion of Lee Perry on Western Consciousness) is like a fulfilment," mused Worrell King who in the early years received much flak for not including artistes whose lyrical content he deemed as negative expressions. Hence, the naming of his band, S.A.N.E. - Sounds Against Negative Expressions.

"Men of earnest, are not afraid of consequences," he told the Observer. Noting the return of conscious lyrics in the music, the director of King of Kings Promotions suggested that Western Consciousness has kept faith with its motto - "A Celebration of Good Over Evil"Added he, "In keeping with this concept, we're going to include in the lineup, a number of the new crop of conscious artistes."
