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.

Background

Musical Bones is almost single mindedly focused on Vin Gordon's extraordinary and emotive trombone playing throughout, with the Upsetters providing the rock solid reggae foundation that allowed Gordon to strut his jazzy improvisatory stuff on. Lee Perry played it very straight as a producer here, his wide and unorthodox production tendencies are fully in check.
