Stone Love Movement, commonly referred to as simply Stone Love, is one of the major Jamaican sound systems. ==History== Based in Kingston, Winston "Wee Pow" Powell built the Stone Love sound system in 1972, using locally-built amplifiers.〔Morgan, Simone (2012) "(The Movement continues )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 9 November 2012, retrieved 10 November 2012〕〔"(Stone Love )", ''Vibe'', April 1998, pp. 106-113〕 These were soon upgraded, and the equipment has been kept up to date over Stone Love's four decade history, with long-time engineer Winston Samuels in charge of technical aspects of the sound system.〔Cooke, Mel (2010) "(Winston Samuels - The Man Behind Stone Love's 'Clean' Sound )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 24 December 2010, retrieved 10 November 2012〕 It became Jamaica's most popular sound system, known for its superior sound quality, and maintained this position into the 21st century.〔〔Cooke, Mel (2008) "(Sound quality separates Stone Love from the pack )", ''Jamaica Star'', 15 December 2008, retrieved 10 November 2012〕〔Seed, Michael et al (2003) ''Continuum Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World: Volume 2 - Production and Performance'', Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd., ISBN 978-0826463227, p. 264〕 It has also played overseas in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.〔 Stone Love is renowned for its exclusive dubplates, which have included sides by many of the artists which it helped to establish, including Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder, and Johnny Osbourne and Shabba Ranks, Sanchez, and Beenie Man.〔〔"(Stone Love, The Special anniversary )", ''Jamaica Star'', 2 November 2012, retrieved 10 November 2012〕 In the 1990s, rivalry with the Killamanjaro sound system led to a series of 'sound clashes' being staged.〔Stanley Niaah, Sonia (2010) ''DanceHall: From Slave Ship to Ghetto'', University of Ottawa Press, ISBN 978-0776607368, p. 103〕 In 2003 Powell started a second sound system, Purple Love, which concentrates on vintage Jamaican music.〔Henry, Krista (2006) "(Purple Love goes back to Stone Love's roots )", ''Jamaica Gleaner'', 8 December 2006, retrieved 10 November 2012〕 A live album featuring a recording of the sound system performing, ''Stone Love Live'', was released in 2005 on November Records.〔 The sound system hosts the 'Weddy Weddy Wednesday' party every Wednesday at its base in Burlington Avenue, Kingston. Apart from Wee Pow, the selectors have included Rory, Geefus, Billy Slaughter, Billy Cosby, Diamond, Fire Ras, Ice Burg, Black Fox, Scary Gary, Dwayne Pow, Jazzy, and Genius.〔 The sound system spawned the Stone Love and Father Pow record labels that have released hits by the likes of Bounty Killer, Jigsy King and Tony Curtis, Capleton, Tanya Stephens, and Daddy Screw.〔〔Kenner, Rob (1995) "(Boom Shots )", ''Vibe'', August 1995, p. 124, retrieved 10 November 2012〕 In August 2014 it was announced that Powell would receive the Order of Distinction in October that year.〔Campbell, Howard (2014) "(Marcia Griffiths to receive Order of Distinction )", ''Jamaica Observer'', 7 August 2014.
