PRINCE BUSTER AND THE ALL STARS
Judge Dread (Olive Blossom/Blue Beat, 1967)
In the rocksteady era, the ‘rude boy’ crime wave street gangs terrorised Kingston’s poorest communities. In his guise of Judge Dread, Buster sentences the rudies to 400 years of imprisonment for their crimes. Co-written by Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, who appears as one of the hapless defendants.
