“I shot Lee Perry at Mad Professor’s Ariwa studio in southeast London. Scratch was voicing a tune that has some of the most damning lyrics you are ever likely to hear. He called the tune ‘Chris Blackwell is a Vampire’, released in 1986 as ‘Judgement Inna Babylon’. Lee Perry is a gift to photographers as he never fails to perform for the camera, either on or off-stage. On this night he hammed it up by riding a broomstick in honour of Halloween. Because of his sense of fun and drama I got an incredible variety of shots despite only having a single roll of film with me. Some people consider Scratch mad, but in reality, he’s an eccentric genius in full control – some of the time at least.” David Corio
