This compilation is dedicated to the memory of the late great “Prince” Philip Smart - the first apprentice of King Tubby and the first engineer at Tubby’s studio besides Tubby himself. Alongside Tubby, Philip was integral to the innovation that took place at Tubby’s studio in the mid 1970s, where the mixing of new roots reggae revolutionized the sound of Jamaican music and created styles and techniques that are still being echoed today, nearly 50 years later.

ON THE ROCK is a cornerstone of the group formed by WISS, APPLE, and SKELLY. Recorded and mixed at Leggo's Studio (Kingston, Jamaica) with the new version of Roots Radics, featuring: Flabba Holt (Bass), Dwight Pinkney (Guitar), Carl Ayton (Drums), Steve Golding (Guitar), and T-Bird Johnson (Piano).
An evolution in sound, this album sounds much heavier, much bigger. It is also much more produced, which opened the doors to international success for the group, leading to a marathon tour in Europe and the United States, and then in South America. This album includes the very powerful Rudeboy Shufflin and of course the very emblematic On The Rock, both of which are significant tracks in the group's history.

Earth Running, originally released in 1979 on the Tappa’s Stars label, can be considered the Jamaican’s toaster’s maturity album. Lyrics here are rooted in the “ghetto life” as always. A work with an international flavour: On Side B, two convincing dance tracks, the anthemic funkfest “Freak” and “One More Chance”, often championed by DJs in the following years. A work that explored new territories, a mandatory re-issue for all authentic reggae lovers.
