though it is actully more of a soul and ska record these songs embody as much soul as motown. Some of the songs, like "I'm Still Waiting" might even make Otis weep. This cd is a good insight into the roots and influence of Bob Marley before he developed reggae. A must have.

This cd is a treasure trove of very very early Wailers material, back when they were doing ska, as well as r&b based tracks.

Even in these early tracks, there are glimpses of the greatness to come for both Marley, who is mostly featured, and Peter Tosh.

Great vocals, wonderful music, and a very important piece to the overall puzzle that was the Wailers' music in the bginning. Indispensible listening.

Awesome.Very artistic, and spiritual

And "Who Feels It Knows It." This is a lovely collection of the Wailers early ska works, well presented and sensibly priced too. This and LEGEND make a nice place to start a Marley library. Give thanks.

Esta es una recopilación interesante de temas no muy conocidos de Bob Marley, en versiones de calidad regular, con un sonido muy particular que hace de este disco un verdadero viaje a la Jamaica de los 60`s. Por último, lo recomiendo.

I think that this is the best bob marley album around. I have the tape and thought that it was awesome the only thing that sucks about tapes is that they sometimes get caught in the tapeplayer because they are so old. I think this CD is better because it has a lot more songs. I also think that if you are a big bob marley fan you should listen to this because it is not your typical bob marley its his early songs!

BIG UPS to the seller of this item. Totally efficient in every way. Brilliant price and the disc exceeded my expectations in terms of its condition. As for the cd, well it's an absolute GEM and I'm so happy to have it in my collection. Would highly recommend this seller to ANYONE, ANYWHERE in the world.

Very very happy customer.

Much respect.

Early Marley in formative years. Often in group setting this music isn't similar to Island material. Even covered is old DooWop classic, Ten Commandements of Love. For diehard fans or completionists only.
