HEPTONES ~ Through The Fire I Come + THE OBSERVERS ~ Through The Fire I Come, Part 2
Prod : Winston”Niney”Holness ~ OBSERVER ~ 7” ~ Reissue ~ Originally Released in 1978 ~ UK
Niney”The Observer” lays down one heavy, heady rhythms for the original Heptones to ride, & this, they do in effortless style & fashion… With gliding harmonies and enough space for the rhythm to roll, this combination is hard to break, this is authentic JA roots and dub. “Fire” is a prime slice of Sly & Robbie approaching the style they would later put to potent use with Ini Kamoze and Black Uhuru.
Lovely vocal delivery, and things get heavily dubwise in the discomix, towards the end of the disc.
