If you mean why did Peter and Bunny leave, then here's the short version. Peter and Bunny were not interested in touring, supposedly Bunny did not like the cold weather in England and headed back to JA. Later there was some jealousy on the part of Peter as he realized that C. Blackwell was pushing Bob as the face of the group and he left the Wailers too. The Barrett brothers were with the wailers from nearly the beginning until the end, so much of "the wailers" did stay together, but Bunny and Peter wanted solo careers. Interesting note I read the other day, "Get Up, Stand Up" is the only tune that all three, Bob, Peter, and Bunny recorded as solo artists.
