1976
CHANT DOWN BABYLON * JUNIOR BYLES & RUPERT REID * BLACK WAX 15 * UK
A Ja Man production, Junior Byles originally recorded Beat Down Babylon in 1971 for Lee Perry, and although he song was very successful, for some inexplicable reason, it was only issued in the UK as the B side of Alpha and Omega, a DJ version of the song by Dennis Alcapone, yet a Beat Down Babylon album was issued in the UK by Trojan containing eleven other tracks produced by Lee Perry. The above while not being the same song is very much an updated version of it, this time with a slightly more Roots feel.
