Classic Marley,Classic Reggae.


A rootsy sound filled with lyrics that talk of Black history and daily life in Jamaica. A great album produced with Chris Blackwell (Island Records).

Stand out songs are:Slave Driver,400 years,Stir it up,Kinky Reggae and No More Trouble.

The bonus disc gives a nice alternate take on the original release.


You have to get the original Jamaican versions of these songs
The reviewer below me brings up a valid point about the length of the album overall compared to the price, however you would not benefit to search for a bargain priced version of the previously released aka watered down version. Seriously, listen to how good they sound & how bad the previously released reworked version is in comparison. You have to get the originals and not even listen to the reworked version because it's not even close to how good the real album truly is. And that goes for a lot of Marley material, which is why the bootleg & rare albums are so good, as well as these original Jamican mixes.


Idiots messed with the original version of this album. Unbelievable
Buy this double cd (hopefully on sale like me) or simply buy only the eleven jamaican tracks (cd 1) from itunes. I got this a couple years ago when it was released and it's not even close, the overdubs and such crap covered up a gem of an album. It will be worth it, every song except for 'midnight ravers' (the only song Chris Blackwell had sense enough to leave alone) is extremely different from the "original". . . and oh so much better. Fire this one up and you might never come down. Church! .


Two Of The Same But Not The Same
Having the Tuff Gong release remastered from the original master tapes and now this, I can say that the remixing adds clarity and lowers the bass boom somewhat. . The wonderful Jamaican release is the key to getting this CD for lovers of Marley. . the music is roots, simpler,harmonies somewhat more prominent in places,less rock effects than the the second CD with 2 tracks not released on original "western" release. . . no filler here. . . truly a totally different album in sound and atmosphere. . indeed the length of both cd's is a real issue,way too short,the artwork and lyrics are nice but again it is a historical document from an amazing star for dedicated lovers only. .


Trumps the Original Release
Hearing these songs in their original unpolished form is like listening to entirely different album, in the best possible sense. How Island Records thought the undubbed version needed overdubs and studio sweetening is beyond me.
