They began their career, after one unsuccessful single[4] for Ken Lack's "K Calnek" label, under the watchful eye of Coxsone Dodd of Studio One.

Amongst the rhythms featuring Sibbles' bass playing are Alton Ellis' "I'm Still in Love", "Full Up" (used on Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchie"), and The Abyssinians "Satta Massagana".
