The Heptones Sufferers Time

Label / BLACK ARK / STUDIO 16
Category / Dub, Roots Reggae
Code / UPS 018

The Heptones are a foundational harmony group that defined the sound of early roots reggae in a few others could match. Of their many gems, 'Sufferer's Time' is one of their most evergreen sounds and a key collaboration with the late great Lee 'Scratch' Perry at the legendary Black Ark studio. It is built around a heavyweight bassline, rich vocal harmonies and Perry's unmistakable production touch and, in true roots style, balances social commentary with effortless groove. Flip it over and The Upsetters strip things back into a spacious, echo-drenched dub, where every drum hit and vocal fragment hangs in the air for-seemingly-ever. A series spell of Black Ark magic.
