Notes:

Today, we remember the great Lee “Scratch” Perry. The king of dubbing and a remixing pioneer, Perry was known for his creative use of effects to bring legendary reggae tracks to life. His influence extended beyond the genre, and can be found in much of the music consumed today. Rest in power.
