DESCRIPTION
"Haunted House" was originally released in 1970 on the Upsetter label in Jamaica and later on Trojan Records in the UK. Originally composed as "Spinning Wheel" by David Clayton-Thomas, "Haunted House" transforms the brilliant but weird psych soul jazz funk hit into an even weirder reggae instrumental, driven by syncopated rolling basslines and hypnotic skanking groove. The track is a wicked Upsetters’ production, blending haunting elements with a driving reggae rhythm.
"Double Wheel" was released as a B Side to “Haunted House” on the original single and serves as a perfect complement to the A Side. Like "Haunted House," "Double Wheel" is an instrumental adaptation of the song "Spinning Wheel” similar to the A Side but featuring a mesmerizing organ.
Both tracks are prime examples of Lee Perry’s early work before he fully transitioned into the deep, psychedelic dub that would define his later years. This reissue brings these wicked gems back to light, allowing a new generation of Reggae enthusiasts to experience their brilliance.
