The Overnight Players – Shaka The Great – Babylon Destruction

The Overnight Players – Shaka the Great
Babylon Destruction LP. Cha Cha, 1980

Rumour has it that the Overnight Players are so called due to recording the album, Babylon Destruction, in one night. Apparently, there was some sort of gang violence outside of the studio, meaning the artists were scared to leave, so they stayed and recorded a whole heap of heavy tune!

I guess some good can come out of gang violence!
