Musical Bones is a studio album by Vin Gordon and The Upsetters, produced by Lee Perry and released in 1975. It was first released as a white label record. [1]
'Musical Bones' differs in that it's almost single mindedly focused on Vin Gordon's extraordinary and emotive trombone playing through out, with The Upsetters providing the rock solid reggae foundation that allowed Gordon to strut his jazzy improvisatory stuff on. Perry played it very straight as a producer here, his wide and unorthodox production tendencies are fully in check.

He worked with and produced for a wide variety of artists, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, The Congos, Max Romeo, Adrian Sherwood, Beastie Boys, Ari Up, The Clash, The Orb, and many others.

In addition to making early use of a drum machine, the album is characterised by unpredictable drops in the beat, drastic stereo panning and samples of dialogue from television series, particularly British sitcoms, while Perry sings on the album in an eccentric falsetto and portrays different personas, including television characters from Kojak and Doctor on the Go.
