This assortment of rare and previously unreleased songs from the trio that later became the world's greatest reggae band offers insight into Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer's musical beginnings. Then known as Nesta Marley, Peter McIntosh, and Bunny Livingstone, the three teens recorded reams of ska, pop, soul, doo-wop, and any other style producer Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd requested. Dodd was the father of the Jamaican hit record in the '60s and his renowned Studio One was the home of his hit factory. Despite poor recording quality and a selection of mostly obscure tunes not found on other Wailers collections, this set will please the hardcore Wailers fan. Previously unreleased tracks are included as well as ska favorites "Don't Ever Leave Me" and "Do It Right." The ska cuts are the highlights; the doo-wop and American covers are worthy for the sake of history. If you're tracing the career of Bob Marley or the Wailers, this is essential to understanding their point of origin. --Karen Karleski

4.0 out of 5 stars Very early wailers recordings, August 18, 2000

The destiny tracks are some of the very first tracks done by Bob marley & the wailers. Most of the tracks were produced by the great Clement Dodd. Although most of the tracks have a ska vibe but there are also quite a few doo wop songs, even a couple of pop tunes on this CD. There's even a version of white christmas. :) Most newbie BMW (Bob Marley & the Wailers) may want to pass on this one because it is very raw and not as polished as their later efforts but serious wailer fans will definetely appreciate these early sessions. standout tracks are Destiny, Don't ever leave me, I stand Predominant, Where is my mother, treat me good and jerk in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Bob Marley, December 13, 2011

The early Bob Marley recordings are by far the best he ever recorded in his entire life. This album has the BEST Bob Marley ever recorded!! I frankly don't even like any of his later stuff anymore compared to this music!! If you are a REAL Bob Marley fan, you will find this album to the the most finest music you have heard. If you are a wannabe however, you may want to just stick with his later recordings. Its really up to you isn't it?

I am a Bob Marley fan, a Peter Tosh fan and a Bunny Wailer fan. Put them together as teenagers singing their hearts out to make their career move, and you get songs like "Don't Ever Leave Me" and "I Stand Predominant". The Wailers went on to move the world with their music and even later, a message that would rise and spread across the world unlike any island music had done before. Don't miss out on this oppurtunity to experience the raw nature and oldie feel of Bob Marley before he was singing reggae. This is mainly Ska (Late 50's dance music) and Doo-Wop, a must have album for Bob Marley and early island music fans!!!
