Description

“Police & Thieves is a roots reggae classic by Junior Murvin originally released in 1977 which was produced by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry (who also wrote or co-wrote many of the songs) at his legendary Black Ark Studios with The Upsetters. The title song was memorably covered by The Clash in a very different arrangement than Murvin’s. Perry’s imaginative and groundbreaking production surrounded Junior’s falsetto vocals and the musicians in a dense, echo heavy, spaced out sound to create one of the great songs, and albums, of the roots era. Limited edition of 500 now available on gold vinyl!”
