With Lee Perry
After a conflict with Dodd in the late summer of 1970, Marley and his band teamed up with Lee "Scratch" Perry (who Marley had met when Perry was studio supervisor at Studio One) and his studio band, The Upsetters. Although the alliance lasted less than a year, they recorded what many consider The Wailers' finest work. Marley and Perry split after a dispute regarding the assignment of recording rights, but they would remain friends and work together again. The output of this 1970-1971 period was released on Soul Rebels (1970), Soul Revolution (1971), Soul Revolution Part II (1971), African Herbsman (1973) and Rasta Revolution (1974) on the Upsetter/Trojan label.
