Liner notes by
David Katz!
"Double Seven, released by Trojan in late 1973, was the last album
Lee 'Scratch' Perry would release on the label for some
considerable time, and it was essentially the final album project
he put together before establishing his own Black Ark studio.
Opening track 'Kentucky Skank' sets the tone with a slow creeper
whose frying sounds underscore its role as a praise song to the
Colonel's KFC recipes; the cosmic Moog blips come courtesy of Ken
Elliott at Camden's Chalk Farm studio, also prominently featured on
U-Roy's double-tracked, stereo-panned gambling ode 'Double Six.'
David Isaacs' 'Just Enough' was cut a few years prior, which makes
it slightly out of phase with the rest of the set, though the
enigmatic 'In The Iaah' sounds mightily fresh, with its uncredited
chorus said to come courtesy of the Wailers. Perry's own 'Jungle
Lion' has hilarious roars from the maestro at the start, strangely
grafted atop a reggae re-make of Al Green's 'Love and
Happiness.'
"Overall, Double Seven melds the soul, funk, reggae and dub
elements that were constant in Perry's work during this phase. His
enhanced audio spectrum and endless reference points would keep his
music continually apart from that made by his peers."
