The Blackstones were formed by Leon Leiffer in 1974. Since the initial group formation, there have been several line-up changes; currently the group consists of: Leon Leiffer, Tony Mahoney, and Jr. Bailey, and they have recently been joined by A.J. Franklin (Chosen Few, Federals). Over the years they have worked with many notable Jamaican producers, such as Count Shelly, Fatman, Phill Pratt, Lloyd Charmers, Lindel Lewis, Tony "Ruff Cut" Phillips, Winston Curtis, Jah Larry, Tony Owens, the late great Bunny 'Striker' Lee, and the legendary, Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One in JA. This release features two rootical vocal sides of their consistent repertoire. The four-track EP features a re-work of "Selection Train" and "Hell & Heaven." The vocal tracks are replete with instrumental versions from Alvin Davis.
