Robert Bloemkolk The wizard of reggae. One of his best. Both 'Super Apes' are a good introduction to a sometimes bewildering discography. Favorite track: Tell Me Something Good.

Team Oktopus We know what you are wondering: can this album be better than it's cover? I mean, can you beat a giant ape smoking a joint while causing havoc?? The answer is: Yes. A million times yes

about

A perfect showcase of the remarkable production skills of undisputed dub master Lee “Scratch” Perry, this is the final Upsetters LP to be recorded at The Black Ark studio before its closure!

"There are rare instances of a sequel being better than the original, and while some might argue that Lee Perry’s muggy mid-’70s classic Super Ape is untouchable, Return of the Super Ape proves far more outlandish and wiggly. Rumored to be the last album made at Black Ark in 1978, it, like its predecessor, boasts a cover of a giant ape wreaking havoc across the land (this one’s holding a giant spliff, though). Perry rants about vampires and Rastafarians on the muddy “Jah Jah Ah Natty Dread,” and “Psyche and Trim” uses slapback to add glints of light to the otherwise dark track. One can picture Perry as that titular ape, wrecking all the elements in a way so that the chaotic jumble feels just right." - Andy Beta, Bandcamp Daily daily.bandcamp.com/2019/04/22/lee-scratch-perry-guide/
