Notes

180 gram vinyl re-issue of this classic 1970's Upsetters album with an extra disc of additional tracks in a gatefold sleeve. "Kung Fu Meets The Dragon" is a martial arts-themed project, largely made up of instrumental versions of some of Perry's productions (Roy Shirley's "Hold Them", Linval Thompson's "Kung Fu") and other musical pieces, enriched with Perry's trademark use of percussion and production tricks such as phasing, dubbing, talkover etc. and inspired by the wave of martial arts movies that were popular at the time. Recorded and produced by Perry at his own Black Ark Studios, it notably features ace Jamaican polyinstrumentalist Augustus Pablo on melodica (and maybe keyboards as well), his gentle playing adding some otherworldly melodic content to the sparse sound.

Album

Kung Fu Meets the Dragon is a studio album by The Mighty Upsetter, released in 1975. A martial arts-themed project, this very rhythmic LP is largely made up of instrumental versions of some of Perry's productions Roy Shirley's Hold Them, Linval Thompson's Kung Fu and other musical pieces, enriched with Perry's trademark use of percussions and production tricks phasing, dubbing and so on and talkover inspired by the wave of martial arts movies that were popular at the time of recording. I agree with the previous review, this is an excellent reissue of Lee Perry's incredibly classic Kung Fu Meets the Dragon. I recently purchased a near mint copy and it plays beautifully and looks great There's plenty of information on the back of the jacket and the two extra tracks are a bonus as well. Hold Them Kung Fu.
