Party Time!


The Heptones have to be one of my favorite Reggae vocal groups. Ting a Ling is probably the best example of their vocal work, but their performance on this record is great as well. I recently aquired the album Party Time produced by Lee Perry (I've been trying to get all of the Lee Perry records produced at Black Ark). This album is great, and despite the title, most of the songs are overtly political as oppossed to the love songs on Ting a Ling. To me the standout songs are Sufferers Time, Now Generation and the Bob Dylan classic I Shall be Released. Posted below is I Shall be Released.
