After the break with Island, Scratch moved to Amsterdam where a short-lived label, Black Art, was set up. In 1982 he fronted some U.S. dates with an American reggae band called the Terrorists. Residents living near one show’s promoter called the police at 6 AM to report a half-naked man with a machete jogging through the neighborhood. It was Scratch. Said Lee about the band, “They are the Terrorists and I am Dr. Sea bat here to bless the good and to curse the evil.” Lee Scratch Perry
