From Steve Barrow's sleeve notes who compiled this album:

"The tracks gathered on this album fall into the category of verbal attacks and commentaries on various public and personel events filtered through the singular perception of Lee Perry, The Upsetter.
Though the origins and targets of these attacks may remain obscure, the conviction with which they are uttered is never in doubt. Thus 'Public Jestering' featuring Winston Blake as the fearsome Judge Winchester, remains a devastating mockery of the gun courts and their policy of 'Indefinite Detention' during 1973-1976, 'I'm Dread Locks'lampoons the utilization of Rasta as a fashionable pose. The Leo Graham tracks are a warning to enemies who might seek the help of an Obeah man Niney the Observer. Together the tracks constitute the famous mix of humour, vitriol and power that has come to characterize the best Upsetter music."
