MISCELLANEOUS: Albert Bailey and Clifton Howell were an obscure vocal duo who cut several Jamaican hit singles for Channel One producer JoJo Hookim under the name Earth & Stone in the mid-1970s. Kool Roots, which compiles most of the group's Channel One output, was originally released in 1978 as a double album (standard vocal mixes on one LP, dub versions on the other) in a gatefold sleeve -- an almost unheard-of packaging extravagance for a reggae act at the time. Little more is known about the duo, and they dropped from sight after Kool Roots was released. But the haunting single "In Time to Come" has endured, and this reissue, which combines both LPs on a single CD, shows that Earth & Stone was capable of producing consistently high-quality material. Bailey and Howell's sweet harmonies are the main attraction, but a good portion of the credit for this album's success must also go to the Revolutionaries, Channel One's crack house band.

No Reserve. I will accept Paypal from domestic bidders. I will accept Paypal from international bidders.
International Customers – I will send the total for international shipping since it varies by country after the auction (typically it will range from $13 to $15 for 1 LP). Please wait for the invoice before sending payment. The US Post Office no longer offers Economy Surface shipping and shipping rates have increased overall.
Also, I typically only get an opportunity to make post office drops on Saturdays.
