MISTRY BABYLON * THE HEPTONES * HEP HEP * JA

Class recording from The Heptones and Lee Perry released on their own Hep Hep label, recently reissued on the Black Art label. Mistry Babylon is a conscious song which, as far as I can tell from the lyrics, relates to us that, far from Babylon being a mystery [or mistry]  The Heptones know the hidden workings and the  future plans of Babylon, much of which seems to be of evil intent contingent on the use of alcohol.
