i read in an interview with glen washington that mighty threes has the lead singer of culture in it. can anybody tell me anything more about this group? should i get africa shall stretch forth her hand?

it is a killer set, crucial IMO. nice late 70's roots/early dancehall. i didnt know anything about the late joseph hill singing with them though.

yes u should get Africa Shall Strecth Forth Her Hand.

Btw, there is a mistake in the RA, it was released in 1978, not 79.

From the **[Makasound](http://www.makasound.com/ms_boutique.ph ... _univers=4)** site;

"As their name suggests, the Mighty Three’s are a vocal trio, formed in the mid-70’s by Bernard Brown, Noel “Bunny” Brown and Carlton Gregory. In the galaxy of reggae, the band was a shooting star, as it left its mark with only one album, “Africa Shall Stretch For Her Hand”, and the dub record of the same name. But these were gems, even if today they appear almost invisible in the flood of reggae albums that went unnoticed at the time of their release, usually because of financial problems. Musically and historically however, these records are often quite interesting and today, scores of music lovers fight over the remaining copies. Thus we chose to put together those two complementary albums and added “One black people”, the Mighty Three’s first song, that only came out as a single at the time, as well its dub. Far from the usual crowd of studio warriors, the musicians that joined in the sessions are all unknowns, apart from Glen Washington – today a very popular singer – who makes his first appearance as a drummer.

And yes, it is a "must-buy"!!!

Makasound is having a huge sale on at the moment, so you could get it for only 7 euros. It's worth getting a few albums though, because the tax and postage bumps the price up quite a bit. Still, I just got four wicked albums for only 35 euros and when I've seen them for sale in Spain they are usually priced at around 20 each.

I also made an order and prices are very low for all the catalog check it : http://www.makasound.com

Greg, sorry kind of off topic but you live in San Diego right?
