Original Jamaican issue.

Superb collection of Heptones' harmony vocals - just about everything the group recorded at Studio One is pretty much essential - this selection includes many tracks that cannot be found elsewhere.

The original release came in a rather crude screen-printed sleeve (illustrated above). The same tracks were susequently reissued as TING A LING in a more traditional picture sleeve.

Jamaican repress in an even more rudimentary screenprint sleeve. Both issues are now very difficult to find.
