Lee "Scratch" Perry – King Perry (Vinyl)
A posthumous Lee “Scratch” Perry album titled King Perry has been announced.
Lead single “100lbs of Summer,” which features vocals from London R&B singer Greentea Peng, comes with a remix by Tricky, who co-produced two of the songs on the album.
King Perry, written and recorded during the pandemic before Perry died in August 2021, is referred to as the musician’s final studio album. The closing track, “Goodbye,” was apparently Perry’s last-ever recorded vocal performance. According to a press release, King Perry explores new territory with synthwave, drum’n’bass, big beat, and electronica because Perry “wanted to do something new, something different but still with a dub framework.”
Daniel Boyle, who previously worked with Perry on 2014’s Grammy-nominated Back at the Controls and 2018’s The Black Album, produced the upcoming full-length LP.
A handful of guest performances are scattered across the tracks, too, courtesy of Greentea Peng, Shaun Ryder, Tricky, Marta, Rose Waite, and Fifi Rong.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
