Description
This is an extremely rare misprinted edition of the People Funny Boy box set from Trojan Records, celebrating the pioneering productions of Lee “Scratch” Perry.
This version differs substantially from the final retail release — numerous track pairings here were replaced or removed entirely before the official commercial issue, making this an early, uncorrected factory version.
A misprint occurs when a manufacturing or assembly error produces unintended or incorrect track listings, labels, or configurations before quality control. These are typically destroyed or withheld from sale, with only a handful surviving.
Collectors value such editions because they represent unique production errors — rare “what-might-have-been” snapshots in a record’s history. This set offers a fascinating insight into Trojan’s archive process and an unreleased configuration of Scratch Perry’s 7” catalogue.
