Junior Murvin and the Heptones with Lee Perry - Play on Mr Music
January 24th 2007 07:29
I was checking the very excellent Dancing Mood forum when I came across this video, linked to below. It is from Roots Rock Reggae, a doco from the 1970s, which I am yet to see, but will look into.
Anyway, this particular clip from that doco is of Lee Perry in his Black Ark Studio. First up, he is recording with Junior Murvin, The Heptones and The Upsetters. They are recording a most beautiful song in Play on Mr Music. It is fantastic to see the Heptones and Murvin singing - swapping between hearing the backing music and just the vocals as they listen to the music through the cans.
Well impressed by this tune, I tried to find it. I was disappointed to discover that the song wasn't released at the time - if the information is correct, it was created for the purpose of the documentary. It was however later recorded by the Heptones - though apparently it is quite difficult to get a hold of.
Anyway, check it out, I'm still going to try to find it, hopefully on vinyl. (Yes unlikely).
