The Good, the Bad and the Upsetters is a studio album by The Upsetters,[1] released in 1970. Lee Perry had no direct involvement with this album and never considered it an Upsetters album.

In response to the album's release, Perry released an album in Jamaica using the Trojan artwork but with a completely different track listing. It was only released in small quantities at the time, but it was reissued in January 2014 on Cherry Red Records' Hot Milk label.[2][3]
