The Heptones
Leroy Sibbles, Earl Morgan and Barry Llewellyn first came together as "The Hep Ones" in 1965 in Kingston but they soon changed their name to "The Heptones". The name was chosen by Morgan after seeing a Heptones Tonic bottle lying in a pile of refuse.[1]
The Heptones recorded for major Jamaican record producers at the time. They began their career, after one unsuccessful single[2]. for Ken Lack's "K Calnek" label, under the watchful eye of Coxsone Dodd of Studio One. The Heptones had a number of Jamaican hits for Studio One, beginning with "Fattie Fattie", their first Studio One single in 1966[3]. This began a long run of success for Coxsone, including "Pretty Looks Isn't All", "Get In The Groove", "Be a Man", "Sea of Love" (a cover of the Pat Phillips and the Twilights doo-wop classic), "Ting a Ling", "Party Time" and "I Hold the Handle." They were the chief rivals to The Techniques, who recorded for Arthur "Duke" Reid, as the top vocal act of the rocksteady era.
During their five years at Brentford Road, Leroy Sibbles played bass on numerous sessions, auditioned acts, and along with Jackie Mittoo, was the chief studio arranger. (Some of their instrumental session work was released as the Soul Vendors and Sound Dimension.) Amongst the rhythms featuring Sibbles' bass playing are Alton Ellis' "I'm Still In Love", "Full Up" ( used on Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchie") and The Abyssinians "Satta Massagana". The Heptones remained at Studio One well into the reggae era, where they cut tunes such as "Message from a Black Man", "Love Won't Come Easy", "I Hold (Got) The Handle", "I Love You" and a very successful cover of "Suspicious Minds", then went on to record with Joe Gibbs and Harry J in the early 70s. They had a big hit with "Book of Rules" (based on an American poem called "A Bag of Tools" by R.L.Sharpe) in 1973. It was one of the group's few songs not sung by Sibbles. Barry Llewelyn sang lead and co-wrote "Book Of Rules". Leroy Sibbles emigrated to Canada in 1973 and the group ceased recording, returning in 1975 to once again record at Harry J's Kingston studio.
In 1975 The Heptones signed an album deal with Chris Blackwell's Island Records. Two albums resulted: "Night Food" in 1976 and "Party Time" in 1977. "Night Food" was produced by Danny Holloway and featured several re-recorded Studio One classics as well as new originals like "Country Boy" and "Mama Say". The group toured England with Toots & The Maytals to support Night Food's release.

Handymansd · 04-02-2011, 07:40 PM

Very nicely done, as usual!

You need to stop catching fish, you are in danger of starting to look like a fisherman!
