Synopsis

Album Description
On this release, we are exceptionally pleased to present to the world previously unreleased outtakes from the Night Food sessions, recorded some thirty years ago with members of the Wailers backing band at Harry J under the auspices of Danny Holloway; the Wailers had been cutting Natty Dread at the studio, became involved in Night Food and eventually cut a few tracks of their own with the Heptones, and each song is complimented here by a crisp dub version, expertly mixed by high-ranking engineer Soljie Hamilton. Unlike the tracks that ended up on Night Food, none of the material here has been enhanced by international session musicians or string orchestras, resulting in a more raw and honest expression, closer to that originally intended by the artists.
 

CD Reviews

Great Heptones, Great Scratch Perry
zphage | 03/30/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Another great Auralux reissue, in depth liner notes, great crisp sound. You can't get any better than the great Leroy Sibbles wailing away with Lee Scratch Perry producing and the Wailers backing up.



These are outtakes from the Heptones' Night Food album, that stand up on their own, creating a whole alternative to that album. A real treat."
