Party Time also included remakes of Studio One tunes, including Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released", along with newer compositions such as "Sufferers' Time".

The Heptones remained at Studio One well into the reggae era, where they cut tunes such as "Message from a Black Man", "Love Won't Come Easy", "I Hold (Got) The Handle", "I Love You" and a successful cover version of "Suspicious Minds", then went on to record with Joe Gibbs and Harry J in the early 1970s.
In the last 10 years BDF has been touring live in Europe and playing as a backing band for international Reggae artists such as Alton Ellis, The Heptones, Earl Sixteen, Anthony Johnson, U Brown, Kenny Knots, Aisha, Dub Judah, Tena Stelin, Jah Marnyah and Afrikan Simba.
Along with The Heptones' Party Time and Junior Murvin's Police and Thieves, both released in 1977, this album is a part of what is referred to as Lee "Scratch" Perry-produced Black Ark "holy trinity".
