Junior Byles, once frontman of the Versatiles (other members were Louis Davis and Earl Dudley), has made a string of high quality recordings in the seventies for Lee Scratch Perry. After he left the group to launch his solo career he started working with Lee Perry. His first release was Demonstration. The relationship with Lee Perry proved successful for him and in 1973 he cut an album with Lee Perry entitled Beat Down Babylon. He also cut an album (his second) Jordan for producer Pete Weston, a year after he had scored big with the Channel One production Fade Away.

Not the complete recordings of Junior Byles by a long shot, but the best collection of his solo material currently on the market. All of the solo hits are here as well as a good amount of previously unreleased material and outtakes. The revelatory tracks include "A Place Called Africa" and "Informer Man" both of which show off the richness of Byles' voice and the astute and sympathetic production offered by Lee "Scratch" Perry.
