Great early Wailers material. But if you want to go beyond the reggae that appeals to the "wine and cheese" crowd, by all means pick this one up. If you can only get behind the slick production of the mid to late 70's Bob Marley stuff, then this album may not be for you. This is the raw, rough and ready sound of the early Wailers - Peter, Bunny and Bob. Recorded before worldwide fame with limited production, but to my ears the lack of audio quality is more than made up for by the warmth and immediacy of these recordings.

Not a Reggae Fan
Actually there's lots of interesting stuff in here, esp. But I bought this anyway, after hearing a couple of tracks online on Mark Lamarr's BBC2 show. for those w/a more ska preference. Though I do have a ska preference, the collection feels inconsistent to me. Some cuts are much stronger than others, I don't have a feel for the overall sound, & there aren't that many stand-out tracks. An important collection, I imagine, but more for completists than the casual fan.
collectors material
Any Bob fan will appreciate the younger voice of mr. If you like the raw old school sounds of Bob Marley this album is for you. marley. A necessary part of the collection.
