Upsetter Records

Upsetter Records was a Jamaican record label set up by Lee "Scratch" Perry in 1968. Perry also opened the Upsetter Record Shop where he sold the records he produced. Lee "Scratch" Perry worked for Coxsone Dodd's Studio One record label and later for Joe Gibbs's Amalgamated Records through the 1950s and 1960s. Amid personal and financial disagreements, he left Gibbs in 1968 and founded Upsetter Records, which became the outlet for his independent productions and the base for the musicians who formed the Upsetters.
