5.0 out of 5 stars Great Rocksteady - ROCK ON!!!, January 30, 2008

By	+++when.is.iTunes.going.to.stop.suk'in?+++ (CA USA) - See all my reviews

Nice collection of Heptones stuff. Some nice covers, typical of this era reggae. Starts strong, like a winning race horse. Ends a bit weaker with more modern stuff, but still very enjoyable. It was my main "car cd" for a month. I usually skip the last few songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars thr heptones-leroy sissles-a lost to fame softer secretive bob marley, August 8, 2008

By	a reader "dendera" (Gloucester MA USA) - See all my reviews

the heptones- thee heptone of the heptones was Leroy Sibbles-not so out front as Bob Marley,the Maytals, but softer,more intimate also he crapped out on his band famous because deeper music more moonlit than sunlit of commercialism.Check out what he said
