NOBODY KNOWS * THE HEPTONES * STUDIO ONE 2005 * UK
Leroy Sibbles, Earl
Morgan, Barry Llewellyn came together in 1965 as the Hep Ones, which quite
quickly changed, it is said because of pronunciation, to the Heptones, and after
a very brief time with Caltone they moved to Studio One where they stayed until
1971. This is an old standard Nobody Want's To Know You When Your Down And
Out which has been a favorite at least since Bessie Smith days, the lyrics
of which are interpreted with license as a top Rock Steady cut. With the drummer
ringing the cymbals like Lloyd Knibbs on a Ska track.
