Rocksteady 200 146. Set Them Free – The Defenders (WIRL) 1966 Well this is Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – even though he credited the tune to The Defenders. Set Them Free was Perry’s response to Prince Buster’s Judge Dread. It’s a great track with Perry playing the role of Lord Defend trying to point out to the judge that the rude boys were forced into a life of crime by a crooked and racially corrupt Jamaica. In a superb relaxed rhyming rocksteady drawl Lord Defend explains to the judge that the only right and just thing to do is to overturn their convictions and ‘set them free’.
