4.0 out of 5 stars
essential early wailers, September 20, 2000
This review is from: Complete Soul Rebels & Upsetter Record Shop (Audio CD)
For those who can not afford to get the 3 volume box set collection of the Wailers' pre- "Catch a Fire" material- including their late 60's sides- the essential recordings with Lee "Scratch" Perry- these cds will help you get more acclimated to these sides.
Both cds offer alternate takes of many of these songs, which is a nice thing, so as to allow the listener to follow the evolution of the tracks. (Some, like Peter Tosh's "400 Years," do not change much, while others, like Marley/Tosh's "Concrete Jungle," change a lot)
While not by any means a complete collection, these cds will be a good way to start listening to the evolution of reggae's most endearing band.
