' Lee 'Scratch' Perry The End Of An American Dream is the 2007 album by Lee 'Scratch' Perry (born Rainford Hugh Perry), who was a Jamaican record producer, composer and singer noted for his innovative studio techniques and production style. Perry was a pioneer in the 1970s development of dub music with his early adoption of remixing and the use of studio effects to create new instrumental or vocal versions of existing tracks. From his Black Ark Studio in Kingston Jamaica, he worked with and produced a wide variety of artists, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, Susan Cadogan, The Congos, and Max Romeo. Later, he moved to Switzerland and reinvented himself as a performance and visual artist but continued to produce innovative music - collaborations include The Beastie Boys, The Clash, Keith Richards, George Clinton, and Adrian Sherwood. The End Of An American Dream Scratch is the first in a series of three albums he made with English musician and producer Steve Marshall a. k. a.
