Bleechers, The
Come Into My Parlour/check Him Out
These two tracks were released separately on the Upsetter label in 1969: first "Come Into My Parlour" on TMX 202, followed by "Check Him Out on TMX 330. Lee Scratch Perry wrote and produced both songs. "Come Into My Parlour" is a killer Reggay anthem adored by early Reggae fans, on par with the likes of "John Jones" previously released on Harlem Shuffle Records. Extremely popular, it has never been repressed since, it is impossible to find in good condition and is very much in demand. With its suggestive lyrics, bold organ, pulsing beat and lovely melody, it is easy to see why "Parlour" is still so much in favour 50 years after its release. "Check Him Out" is a cheerful and infectious Reggay tune with wonderful harmonies from the group. It has also never been repressed on 7" vinyl. It is a rare and in demand song and a perfect B side for this killer double sider.
