referencing Escape From Babylon, LP, Album, 9103-252. This is a very good album, Martha Velez has a nice vocal and is backed musically throughout by The Wailers and The I Threes. Highlights include "There You Are" ( a cover of Bob Marley's "Stand Alone"), "Wild Bird" and "Money Man".

So right on so many levels, yet in the end, so very, very, wrong, Escape From Babylon is one of the oddest albums to come out of the reggae era. The album was Bob Marley's first outside production assignment, and he was ably assisted by Lee Perry and Craig Leon, while the recording sessions were split between Harry J's studio in Kingston and Plaza Sound in New York. The backing band is the Wailers' own, the Barrett Brothers (Earl "Chinna" Smith et a., with Zap Pow horns and the I-Threes providing harmonies
