Original release date was planned to be May 10th, however this was put back after a last-minute change to the cover art resulting in the pulping of most of the original print run.

Gaudi's Toy Piano was purchased at Argos for £8.50 specifically for the recording.

CD-Text suggests "Cricket On The Moon" was titled "All Combine"; "Run Evil Spirit" was titled "Bionic Rat"; "Let It Rain" was titled "Rain"; "Kiss Them Dreams Money Worshippers" was titled "Donald Dead"; and "Autobiography Of The Upsetter" was titled "I Am The Upsetter". The CD-Text also incorrect lists the artist as 'Lee "Scatch" Perry'.

The mighty upsetter returns with 9 brand new tracks recorded with longtime friend and collaborator Adrian Sherwood at the controls!This new set is the culmination of over two years work and recording sessions that span Jamaica, Brazil and the UK. Determined to craft a work of lasting power, Sherwood likens to the album to the work that Rick Rubin did with Johnny Cash on the American Recordings series, a deeply personal work (the album title refers to Lee‚Äôs birth name) and arguably the strongest batch of original material that Perry has released for many years. From the atmospheric field recording and wah-wah guitar of album opener ‚ÄúCricket On The Moon‚Äù, to the gothic cello embellishment on ‚ÄúLet It Rain‚Äù, the chopped-and-compressed horn section of ‚ÄúMakumba Rock‚Äù, to the layered, carefully arranged  backing vocals like a heavenly chorus throughout the record, this is an album with true love, care and attention poured into it‚Äôs every groove. It culminates in the truly extraordinary ‚ÄúAutobiography Of The Upsetter‚Äù, in which Scratch narrates the story of his life from growing up on a plantation in 1930s colonial Jamaica to becoming a worldwide musical superstar. ‚ÄúIt's the most intimate album Lee has ever made, but at the same time the musical ideas are very fresh. I'm extremely proud of what we've come up as a piece of work". - A.M.S
