"Run for Cover" is a 1967 rocksteady and reggae single by Lee "Scratch" Perry, credited as Lee "King" Perry. The recording featured Perry, his band, Lynn Taitt on guitar and The Sensations as backing singers. It was recorded at Clifford Rae's WIRL studio and appeared on the WIRL record label in Jamaica, then in the UK on Graeme Woodall's Doctor Bird (label) (DB 1073), both pressings with "Something You've Got" on the B-side.
The Wailers also released a song titled "Run for Cover" - their first release on Tuff Gong - but this was based on Lee Perry and Marley's "Soul Rebel", not on Perry's "Run for Cover".
