Back in stock from Edition Patrick Frey: ‘Lee Scratch Perry: Black Ark’

“I am the firmament computer, I am the sky computer, I am the orbit computer, I am the space computer. Inspector gadget Lee Scratch Perry, the upsetting upsetter, who make music better.” So said Lee Scratch Perry, and so he is quoted by John Corbett in Lee Scratch Perry: Black Ark, back in stock after the immediate sell-through of our first shipment in May. Weighing in at 667 pages and featuring printed edges that replicate Perry’s handwriting, this must-have archive collects and collages nearly 300 photographs and handmade articles of ephemera from Perry’s infamous Kingston studio and gathering place. “Due to the perpetual twists and turns of an overactive mind that was driven by unseen spiritual forces, the Black Ark’s décor was seldom static,” David Katz writes. That wild genius is reflected in every spread of this historic preservation project.
