Who produced Bob Marley's 1970 album 'Soul Rebels'?

Lee “Scratch” Perry produced Bob Marley’s 1970 album Soul Rebels.

Soul Rebels was the Wailers’ second studio album and their first to be released outside Jamaica. Bob Marley and the Wailers approached Perry in August 1970, beginning a creative partnership that helped move their music toward the darker, more spacious reggae sound heard on the record.

The sessions took place at Randy’s recording studio, also known as Studio 17, above Randy’s Record Mart in Kingston. Perry’s production was notably sparse: bass, drums, guitar, organ, and vocals carried the arrangements without the horns and dense embellishments common in some earlier Jamaican recordings. The stripped-down sound gave the songs a haunting, forceful atmosphere.

The album was first issued in the United Kingdom by Trojan Records in December 1970. It should not be confused with later Wailers releases produced with Chris Blackwell at Island Records. Perry also collaborated with Marley on “Soul Rebel,” the song that supplied the album’s title and became an important early Marley composition.
