I think that goes for a lot of Lee Perry dubs. He liked to use one of those mooing cow toys.
Favorite Dish - Lee Perry In The Closet - Michael Jackson Lee Perry famously burnt down his Black Ark recording studio after walking backwards for three days tapping the ground with a hammer. In The Closet was (I hope) recorded at Teddy Riley's Future Recordings Studio in Virginia Beach, VA which was also destroyed, this time following an electrical fire. |
