The Heptones: Peace And Harmony (TJDDD202)
I was so looking forward to this, because this is my thing. The best cuts are sublime and wonderful and the CD is well worth getting. However there is a tad of disappointment as the quality is not as high as I exepected. There are some pretty average but there output was prodigious so it is not surprising probably.
The best of each era is superb from the earl cuts like Schoolgirls through to the anthem Cool Rasta and beyond.
What is so glorious about these albums is that they tell a story of the artist and the music concerned , from street corner early love affairs, motown influence through growing up and embracing Rasta, having opinions and influence..and my can’t the guy (Leroy Sibbles) sing.

The Heptones' recorded output was prodigious yet their standards never dropped below excellent and this comprehensive collection gathers together, for the first time, their debut recordings for the legendary Caltone label in the sixties, alongside a stunning selection of some of their best work for a variety of producers in the seventies such as Lee Perry, Augustus 'Gussie' Clarke and Niney The Observer.
