Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread
1978 studio album by Lee Perry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roast Fish Collie Weed & Corn Bread is a studio album by the Jamaican musician Lee Perry, released in 1978.[2][3] Although Perry had been in the Jamaican music business for a long time by 1978, this album, produced by himself at his Black Ark studio, was the first to consist entirely of songs sung by himself. The album is very experimental.

Island Records, which had released earlier Lee Perry productions like Super Ape and War Ina Babylon, rejected the album. This angered Perry, and his relationship with the record company deteriorated.
