Product Notes
Two CD 25the Anniversary edition. Featuring six previously unissued studio recordings. And seven previously unreleased live recordings. Released at the dawn of the 21st Century, 'On The Wire' marked the long awaited return of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's to Trojan Records, 14 years after the company had issued his powerful come-back long-player, 'Battle Of Armagideon' Demonstrating The Upsetter's eccentric and innovative approach to music-making, the 2000 album comprises a compelling blend of weird and wonderful sounds, over which he delivers typically unpredictable yet captivating lyrics that range from the profound to the absurd. Upon it's release, the Trojan collection was comprehensively praised, with many critics proclaiming Scratch was finally back to his best, but unbeknown to most, the recordings were in fact already well over a decade old, with Scratch having cut the material, accompanied by popular British roots band Misty In Roots, at London's Matrix Studio early in 1987. Despite the enduring popularity of 'On The Wire', it has remained unissued since it's original release, an oversight this 25th anniversary edition sets to finally address. This long- overdue deluxe version comprises the original album augmented by a second disc featuring additional unreleased material from the Matrix sessions, along with previously unheard live tracks delivered to Trojan by Scratch around the close on the 1990s.
