what do you think about these guys? i have heard an LP called Stop that train ( http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2044 ) and it is really great. They are from late 60s and the begining of the 70s

[fadel diagne]

I first heard Tonight on the classic compilation album Rebel Music - it is an absolute scorcher - the backing tune is also used on the studio classic Try Love by Sugar Minott

[Fabroots]

Im crazy with their tune "hypnotic eyes"!

They also had a 12" single where they are called the Twin Roots ( the title of the single is 'know love' ), that was produced at the black ark. Watty Burret is on the flip with the song 'rainy night in Portland'

It's a absolute killer single.

I'm familiar with Them don't know love on the 'Heart of the Ark' album from Lee Perry - artist name is Righteous - is this a different version?
