OK CAN SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO EARTH AND STONE I HEARD THEY DISSAPERED AFTER KOOL ROOTS BUT WHY OR WHAT HAPPENED CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE?

[mikey brown]

yeah , the kool roots double lp
was great. i think the vocal duo took a
break for a few years, then around 1983 or
1984, they recorded a few singles.
they were released on the clinch label.
although, nothing matched up to there
singles from 1978 & 1979.
peace out.

[arize_rootsman]

do u know what singles they were and y did they break if i personally think they sound better than any other harmony group bands out there.

They also have tunes on some compilations for- Joe Gibbs-"Wicked haffi Dress Back" on United Dreadlocks
Sonia Pottinger-"No Time to Lose" on Reggae Train,
the dub is on "Dub Over Dub" on Heartbeat
Channel One- "Give Me" on Well Charged

I agree these brethen are heavy- "IN TIME TO COME" is well crucial.

On the subject of Earth & Stone- can anyone tell me what is the riddim that "Wicked Haffe Dress Back" is on. It reminds me of "Woman is Like A Shadow". Also the I-Roy cut "Trust No Shadow After Dark" on Top Ranking DJ Session(vol 1) kind of reinforces this suspicion. Are there 2 versions of "Woman"?
Respect & Thanx,
