The original Wailers line-up disbanded in 1974 due to Tosh and Livingston's refusal to play "freak clubs."
Livingston believed that producer Chris Blackwell, whom he called "Chris Whiteworst", was responsible for the bad relationship between the band members, as he thought Blackwell released their albums under "Bob Marley and the Wailers" instead of "the Wailers" since 1969, which tested their friendship.
