The Upsetters were originally Gladdy's All-Stars, led by pianistGladstone Anderson and it was they who originally recorded the international hits 'Live Injection' and 'Return of Django'. The double A-side release of 'Return of Django' / 'Dollar in the Teeth', peaked at #5 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1969.[1] When other commitments prevented the All Stars from participating, another band named The Hippy Boys were recruited to do the subsequent tour in the United Kingdom. This line-up remained the studio band that is most associated with the name, going on to eventually form the nucleus of Bob Marley's backing band The Wailers.[2]
The band included guitarist Alva Lewis, organistGlen Adams and brothers Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and Carlton Barrett, on bass guitar and drums respectively. Under Lee 'Scratch' Perry's direction, the band backed Bob Marley on a full-time basis, especially with his 1969 groundbreaking works Soul Rebels and Soul Revolution[3]
