 The Heptones were contemporaries of the Wailers and the Maytals, and every bit their equal in the mid-60's.Leroy Sibbles, Earl Morgan and Barry Llewellyn first came together as "The Hep Ones" in 1965 in Kingston but they soon changed their name to "The Heptones".The name was chosen by Morgan after seeing a Heptones Tonic bottle lying in a pile of refuse.
