Junior Byles – Beat Down Babylon’The Upsetter Years’,Trojan Records 1987

Junior Byles, front

A little reggae for your sunday evening perhaps ? Junior
Byles in his ‘Upsetter Years’. With Lee Perry at the controls
in his very best years, it’s like everything falls in it’s place. One
song is more beautiful than the other on this superb compilation.
Steve Barrow did a great job here. 10 straight hits and two more
experimental tracks. ( No.s 11 & 12 ) An album not to miss I’d say.
As an extra bonus I have added tracks 15 and 16, have fun.

tracks;

1 Beat down Babylon
2 Da da
3 I’ve got a feeling
4 Don’t know why
5 Demonstration
6 Coming again
7 Joshua’s desire
8 Place called Africa
9 Poor Chubby
10 A matter of time
11 Fun and games/Motion dub
12 Pretty fe true/Pretty dub
13 King of Babylon
14 Pharoah hiding/Hail to power
15 Curly locks
16 Fade away
