  • Lee Perry's studio band for the Upsetter label. Formed in 1968 the Upsetters had three distinct line-ups. The first line-up was comprised of Gladdy Anderson & Winston Wright (keyboards), Jackie Jackson (bass), Hugh Malcom & Lloyd %22Tin Legs%22 Adams (drums). This line-up was also known as Gladdy's All-Stars. They recorded %22Man from MI5%22, %22Return of Django%22 & %22Live Injection%22 with Perry.In 1969, Perry was approached to go on tour in Europe, but Gladdy's All-Stars were not able to make the trip. Perry turned to another young band called The Hippy Boys who were working with Edward %22Bunny%22 Lee. The Hippy Boys consisted of Glen Adams (keyboards), Alva %22Reggie%22 Lewis (guitar) Aston %22Family Man%22 Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums).After the European tour Perry and the Upsetters worked closely with The Wailers up until their falling out in 1971. The Barrett brothers went on with Bob Marley at this juncture.By 1972, The Upsetters were a true %22floating%22 band. Perry decided to forego a permanent line-up and simply used the best musicians he could find at the time.During the Black Ark era (1974 - 1979), the core of the band was Boris Gardiner (bass), Mikey Richards, Sly Dunbar, and Benbow Creary (drums), Earl %22Chinna%22 Smith (guitar), and Winston Wright and Keith Stirling (keyboards).The Upsetters 1968 - 1986Bass:Aston %22Family Man%22 Barrett, Jackie Jackson, Boris Gardiner, Radcliffe Bryan, Robbie Shakespeare, SpikeDrums:Carlton Barrett, Lloyd %22Tin Leg%22 Adams, Lloyd Knibb, Mikey Richards, Sly Dunbar, Benbow Creary, Winston Grennan, Hugh Malcolm, PengKeyboards:Glen Adams, Winston Wright, Ansel Collins, Gladstone Anderson, Keith Stirling, Theophilus Beckford, Robbie Lyn, Augustus Pablo, Mark Downie, Russ CummingsGuitar:Alva Lewis, Hux Brown, Earl %22Chinna%22 Smith, Ron Williams, Ernest Ranglin, Willie Lindo, Michael Chung, Robert Johnson, Geoffrey Chung, Mark Downie, Tarlok MannSaxophone:Val Bennett, Tommy McCook, Richard %22Dirty Harry%22 Hall, Glen DaCosta, Lloyd ClarkeHorns:Vin Gordon, Ron Wilson, Bobby Ellis, David Madden, Egbert Evans, Trevor JonesVocals:Lee Perry, Dave Barker, Leo Graham, Max Romeo, Jah LionFor the early 1960s ska band, see The Upsetters (3).
