Bertram Brown’s Freedom Sounds roots classic Stone was first cut by Prince Alla in 1976, and Weedy G Soundforce revives it here with a modern juggling that keeps the original organ-driven, stormy feel intact. Prince Alla returns on the updated version of Stone, while Melloquence, Fantan Mojah, Tydal Kamau, Burro Banton and Junior X bring fresh takes to the rhythm, with Far Away, Stronger and Love Surprise Them among the most notable cuts. The set also reaches back to King Tubby’s Grate Stone, tying the riddim to its vintage foundation. What makes this release memorable is the way it bridges classic roots reggae and newer singjay styles without losing the haunting, militant character that made the original so distinctive.
