The Heptones - Party Time

[LionRock08]

this is indeed the Lee Scratch Perry version cut at Black Ark Studio in 1976

[theurbanmusicologist]

neither of them...this is the later Lee Perry mid 70's cut and the Sugar is later still.

[jackrowet1234]

yea totally sounds like Perry mixing hahahahahah

[gorillasalads]

One of the greatest rhythms Scratch recorded.  A great step forward from the original with the steppers beat.

Yes, Sir. Lee "Scratch" Perry definitely produced this re-made version of the Heptones' "Party Time" , a Studio One classic done by none other than the legendary Heptones themselves featuring Leroy Sibbles on lead vocals. This version was recorded between 1976 and 1977 at Black Ark Studios.

Not to sound silly but which version is the original? I have only heard this and Sugar Minott's.

[HecG]

I think the studio 1 version is the original.

@HecG I'm studyin reggae music, I wouldnt say which one is original but rather which producer got in the hands of Heptones - Party time first and it was Studio 1 on 1968. The Heptones made a second version of it on 1976 with Lee Scratch Perry.

[reggaeloverone]

@HecG Yes Studio 1 version is the first one.  This version is from the PartyTime album done for Island Music in 70's.
