1966
RUN FOR COVER * LEE KING PERRY AND THE SENSATIONS * DOCTOR BIRD 1073 * UK
Run For Cover is another record bourn out of a grudge, a grudge against his previous employer Coxsone Dodd, whom he left just before making this record.
A classy Rock Steady cut with a killer throbbing bass that adds darkness to the menacing theme of the lyrics; it's a bold statement of intent from Lee Perry aimed at Dodd and all those in the Jamaican music industry who underestimated and disgruntled him.
