"This is the very first reissue of the much in demand double sided killer single released in 1970 on the Upsetter label. Never reissued until now,
Lee Perry
's genius particularly shines in this this minimalist but beautiful cover of the
Beatles
masterpiece. Minimalist because out of the 242 beautiful words in the original song, the iconoclast just kept the chorus i.e. just two sentences: 'Let it be, let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be.' The rest of the lyrics are just 'da da da' but create a surprisingly gorgeous melody beautifully sung by the
Soulettes
. 'Big Dog Bloxie' is in fact a Lee Perry version of the A Side. In this version, Perry took the beautiful song by the Soulettes and scraped all the vocals, leaving the bare instrumental basking in its nasty Boss glory. True it does not sound much like The Beatles anymore but it sure is Skinhead music at its finest!"
