JAH WILL CUT YOU DOWN * EARTH AND STONE * WELL CHARGE * JA

Albert Bailey and Clifton Howell a.k.a. Earth & Stone, backed by the Revolutionaries, made some incredibly good records for the brothers Jo Jo and Ernest Hoo Kim while at Channel One between 1975 and 1978. 

Originally known as the Officials, the group debuted on Coxsone Dodd's Iron Side imprint with Ten Years Ago, then after recording for Perry (as The Ark) and Niney, the duo cut their first record  for Jo Jo Hookim's Channel One  Jah Will Cut You Down aka Jailhouse Set Me Free, which was first pressed on the Channel 1 label in Jamaica.
