To mark the first anniversary of his passing, the very best of his work is showcased across a number of products, all of which effectively demonstrate why Perry was widely venerated figure for so long.

The deluxe box set comprises four vinyl LPs and four CD sets featuring his best known and most influential recordings including a previously unreleased mix of Junior Murvins powerful Police And Thieves, UK chart-buster Hurt So Good by Susan Cadogan and the Upsetters boss reggae classic Return Of Django, as well as numerous major Jamaican hits.

Aldo included in the set is a 50 page fully illustrated page book, penned by Scratchs official biographer, David Katz and featuring an array photos by celebrated photographer Adrian Boot, and a newly designed two sided full colour 24" x 24" poster.

The gatefold 2LP and 2CD collections focus on of the legendary music-maker's best known productions from the '60s and '70s, performed by some of the giants of Jamaican music, with extensive notes on the man whose talent and imagination took reggae to new heights of excellence.
