Lee "Scratch" Perry, the legendary Jamaican producer-and-dubmeister-turned-recording-artist, had already had a long and much-celebrated musical career before he first teamed up with Adrian Sherwood during the late 1980s. A person whose body of work justifies an entire website in its own right, the discography of "Scratch" listed here limits itself only to his credited On-U Sound productions and label appearances.
To begin with, this work was exclusively in collaboration with Style Scott's Dub Syndicate rhythm section, whose other extensive back catalogue is detailed elsewhere. This back catalogue features a small number of other "Scratch" contributions to individual tracks, without credit being given to him as the release's titled act.
