Показать описание
Produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, 'Return of Django' by yhe Upsetters first saw issue late in Jamaica on the legendary music-maker's Upsetter imprint around the close of 1968.

Early the following year, the tracks was issued in the UK by Trojan on its own newly launched Upsetter label - created specifically for Perry's recorded output.

The recording soon became a favourite among Britain's reggae-loving skinhead fans, who created a dance specifically for the track. A cover version was also played in a Cadbury's chocolate TV advert campaign, further widening its appeal.

On 4 October 1969, the single entered the UK pop charts, peaking at number 5 just over a month later.It remained on the national listings until early the following year, spending a total of 15 weeks in the Top 50.

The record was also a strong seller in mainland Europe, while an album of the same name, released by Trojan towards the close of '69, went on to become one of the best selling reggae LPs of all time.

More recently, it featured in the video game, 'Grand Theft Auto: London 1969' and in the film, 'The Beach', first screened in 2000.

Lee Perry was an alien, he invented the sounds of today.

I just put this song on before I walked up 2 flights of stairs and there isn't a song that exists that is is better than this one to walk up stairs to. I could have easily walked up 10 more flights. Great Song. If I owned a building where the elevator was always broken I would play this song in the stairwells and people wouldn't even be mad about having to take the stairs that day.

Sad to learn of Lee Perry’s passing this evening. R.I.P. “Scratch”.

Old does not mean ugly!.. Perhaps it does with some people but certainly not when it comes to music....
Who agrees?? 🏆✨

Ashton’s bass line is so steady and clear. This song serves as a tutorial. Very nice. First time listener here, in February 2024, after hearing of “Family Man’s” passing. Tuff Goin right-der mhan!

A life changing piece of music. I remember this blasting out of the Galleon pub in Dreamland, Margate, before I even knew what a pub was. I knew a brilliant tune when I heard it though.

I played GTA London for the first time in 1999 when I was 10. The soundtrack introduced me to this masterpiece, alongside other bangers

Glenn Miller's "In The Mood", set to a reggae rhythm. Bloody marvellous!
