Whats' Be Happen?

Whats' Be Happen? is the fantastic 1981 debut release from Herbs, who are being inducted into the NZ Music Hall of Fame at the APRA Silver Scrolls on Thursday - more on that here.

Herbs early releases have been out of circulation for many, many years, but Amplifier has announced that there is an extensive digital reissue out now, including Whats Be Happen? Other reissues include Long Ago, Light of the Pacific, and Sensitive to a smile.

"Whats' Be Happen? was the debut studio recording from Herbs. It was released in 1981 through Warrior Records, reaching as high as #40 on the New Zealand album charts. The album is now available again digitally thanks to Warner Music.

Produced and arranged by Herbs. Recording engineers were Gerard Carr and Phil Yule - Phil also mixed the album. Recorded and mixed at Mascot Studios, Auckland, New Zealand.

If you are a fan of kiwi reggae, you need this classic.
