This year's Record Store Day heralded the release of Lee 'Scratch' Perry & The Upsetters - Skanking With The Upsetters, a collection of his "skank" titled tracks. I was thrilled when I heard this was coming out, only to be sadly disappointed when the only record store in my small town didn't receive any copies. I came home, and diligently went through my library and found I could rebuild that tracklist with the files I already had. In this effort, I found another 24 or so tracks with "Skank" in the title that are either from Lee Sratch Perry, The Upsetters, or from his productions. Hence, I went forth and pulled this second volume together. Spotify only had 16 of the 22 tracks.
