Party Time (The Heptones album)
Party Time is a studio album by The Heptones and backing band called The Upsetters, released in January 1977. Along with Junior Murvin's Police and Thieves and Max Romeo's War Ina Babylon, this album can be seen as part of a Black Ark/Lee "Scratch" Perry produced "holy trinity". Highlights include the title track, a Rasta-influenced cover of Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released", the menacing "Storm Cloud", and the determined "Road of Life". After years of being out of print, the album was remastered and re-released on Chris Blackwell's Palm Pictures label in 2003.
