MP3 Podcast: The Amazing Heptones - We Are In The Mood

THE AMAZING HEPTONES - WE ARE IN THE MOOD
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, September 2007 - In an hour we are introduced to the works of one of Reggae's strongest Harmony Vocal Groups: The Heptones.

According to the selector of this magnificent introduction, the group started somewhere in 1965 as the "Hep Ones". He starts of with their first release, a track called "Gunmen Coming To Town" released by Studio One.

The rest is history.

Like most Harmony Groups, the Heptones have a central figurehead. In their case, this is Leroy Sibbles. Not only is he the lead singer, he is also the reason why the Heptones have recorded so much for Studio One.

Leroy played many, many, many basslines at Studio One. This means, that he is responsible for creating too many legendary riddims to mention, as Studio One riddims are re-done until this very day.

The Heptones themselves made quite a name in Reggae History too. "We Are In The Mood" presents their work in 20 titles, some DUBS and even a great -and rare- DJ version by I Roy.

There's a little pause between the tracks, enabling you to create your own CD from the MP3 File. A Labour of Love!
