The Heptones - Swing Low (RED Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

Expected Release Date: 30-May-2025 - This Pre-order will be shipped on or just before this date. Release dates are subject to alteration.

Swing Low, originally released in 1985, is charming, confident and subtly innovative from start to finish.

Now available in Red vinyl with extensive sleeve notes.

Legendary... genius... groundbreaking... seminal... and other similarly hyperbolic adjectives have been used in promoting artists time and time again... often to describe the most mediocre talents. However, one group fully deserves all of these plaudits and many more besides as The Heptones are undoubtedly one of the most accomplished, significant and influential Jamaican vocal harmony trios. Amongst genuine lovers of Jamaican music their standing is beyond compare but, outside of the confines of reggae music, it is still nowhere near as assured. And, even with the benefit of hindsight, it is difficult to understand how and why, despite Island Records giving them a very similar promotional platform in the mid seventies, The Heptones never followed Bob Marley & The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals and Burning Spear into the realms of international recognition.
