DESCRIPTION
Two of the finest reggae albums of the late 70s. The entirety of the group's work for legendary producer, Niney. One of Jamaica's most popular vocal groups of the 60s and 70s. Having initially achieved significant success in Jamaica during the rock steady era of the late 60s, The Heptones further cemented their reputation as the island's most accomplished vocal trio by scoring a succession of major hits throughout the following decade. By 1978, the group, which comprised Earl Morgan and Barry Llewellyn and new member Naggo Morris, commenced what proved to be an extremely fruitful working relationship with Jamaican hit-maker, Niney, with the collaboration spawning a number of popular singles and the two superb albums that provide the focus of this 2CD set. In addition to the contents of these essential long-players, the collection also features the 'Observation Of Life Dub' album - the dub counterpart to 'Better Days' - and extended mixes that first saw issue on 12" singles as the decade drew to a close.
