Sterling, come on *somebody* get real about this, please. League, players, even that little association headquartered in B'mo; Folks knew, but there was some serious money to be had, as long as he kept it discreet, IMO.Anyway, here's a catchy little tune.

According to Leroy Sibbles 'Hypocrite' is aimed at Studio One engineer Sylvan Morris, who was Coxsone Dodd's righthand man at the time. I wouldn't be surprised if the song was actually written with a straight aim at mr. Dodd in the back of Leroy's mind, because if he makes one thing clear (both in the interview with Peter I as well as on other occasions) it is that he wasn't the biggest fan of the studio owner. On 'Hypocrite' he questions where the producer can go after he's been cornered by the truth, which makes the song prophetic almost, as Studio One in the 70's indeed had a flux of talent leaving the studio to seek out better opportunities (including Jackie Mittoo).The Heptones would never be strictly tied to a studio or a producer ever again, but they did record a sizeable discography for Joe Gibbs, resulting in a string of 7" releases and two albums worth of classic material: Heptones and friends part 1 (Jogibs / Trojan) and Heptones and friends part 2 (Attack). The first part is also known as 'The Heptones meet the Now Generation', which deservedly credits the backing band Joe Gibbs used at the time (Mikey Chung & Geoffrey Chung on guitar, Val Douglas on bass, Robbie Lyn and Earl Wire Lindo on keyboards, Martin Sinclair and Mikey "Boo" Richards on drums.) These albums are a great overview of what the Heptones were about at the time as they feature both early roots reggae, deep conscious sounds, hit medley's and interesting soul covers (in a reggae mould); all sung in fine style and backed by a crisp and heavy sounding band that seemed eager to make a difference.'Hypocrite' could be found on the first Heptones & friends album, but was also released as a 7inch. Unfortunately the promising b-side by dj Johnnie Lover has nothing to do with the Heptones' track (although huge in its own right!), so that leaves, to my knowledge, two versions of 'Hypocrite' available. The Jogibs release is the straight version, but there is also a second version: it has a stop-and-come-again routine at the beginning. I'm not sure if the UK version on Green Door/Trojan has that gimmick or not (I don't own that one) but the 90's repress on Joe Gibbs Record Globe does feature it. Speaking of that particular re-issue: it's worth picking up for the 'Hypocrite' intro, but you definitely need to snatch it up for the B-side, if you come across one, as it actually plays the very, very obscure dub of the only tune Lopez Walker (of Phase One fame) ever recorded for Gibbs: Lost in a dream. And that too is a tune! Hypocrite style..

Why don't you tell your brother you sold pot? How about all that black opiated hash you smoked with your friend? And the mushrooms & acid you dropped? You claim to be an "open book" & provide "full disclosure". Maybe your dear brother & father should know about all those things you did when you left him when you were 16. Hypocrite you are.
