• The Hippy Boys - Reggae With the Hippy Boys

One of the most talented, and indeed collectible, bands from the late 1960s is undoubtedly The Hippy Boys. Recording either under their own name or as an anonymous backing combo, they laid down some of the most satisfying and danceable reggae rhythms that Kingston could offer. With a name-shift they became Lee Perry's Upsetters, and pushed reggae (and Trojan Records) way up into the UK National ratings, courtesy of the rocking Return of Django resplendent with Val Bennetts raucous horn playing. They became a skinheads delight and collectors dream, with never a duff track appearing in the racks under their name. Customary to Jamaica, their history is somewhat hazy, but a suggested arrival on the scene in 1967 seems likely. But this wasn't The Hippy Boys as known to the 69 reggae lovers but an earlier incarnation of the backing group. Original copies of this long lost treasure have been known to fetch three figure sums on ebay. A vinyl deluxe package with insert featuring sleeve notes, a track by track breakdown along with rare pictures and record label scans.
