This signed sheet music is for Punky Reggae Party, autographed by legendary producer Lee “Scratch” Perry, who co-created the track with Bob Marley & The Wailers. Released in 1977, Punky Reggae Party was Bob Marley’s response to the British punk movement, which had embraced reggae as a kindred spirit in rebellion and social commentary. Written by Marley and produced by Lee Perry, the song blends reggae’s hypnotic groove with lyrical shout-outs to bands like The Clash and The Jam, who were openly inspired by Jamaican music. Perry’s raw, atmospheric production gave the track its edge, while Marley’s lyrics positioned reggae and punk as allies in challenging the establishment. Though not included on a Marley studio album, Punky Reggae Party became an influential single and a symbolic meeting point of two major musical subcultures of the 1970s. Lee “Scratch” Perry (1936–2021) was one of reggae and dub’s greatest innovators, transforming the studio into an instrument and shaping the sound of modern music. His work with Bob Marley & The Wailers, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo, and countless others defined the Black Ark era of the 1970s. Known for his eccentric genius, Perry pioneered remixing, tape delay, and other studio effects that changed the course of reggae, dub, punk, and even hip-hop. His influence can be heard across decades of music, from The Clash to modern electronic producers. Owning this signed sheet music for Punky Reggae Party is more than just memorabilia—it is a rare artifact tying together reggae and punk history through the genius of Lee Perry. For collectors of reggae, fans of Bob Marley, and admirers of the cross-cultural exchange that shaped 1970s music, this piece embodies the rebellious energy and innovation of a true pioneer.
