This is the first of 3 box sets issued by UM/Hip-O of the complete (really!) Bob Marley & Wailers recordings from 1966-1972.
The others are Fy-Ah Fy-Ah and Man To Man.
Definitive. Great.

I just got mine today and the quality was great from begining to end. I did not enjoy too much "Music gonna teach" and "Im still waiting" only cause of the fact that I hate that "80's" sound, (you know Reverb and excessive chorus, basically the "Space Music" sound.) I was hoping they would have striped it down to the way Bob Originally recorded it, without the overdubs. I definetly enjoyed the Versions and the bass work Since beeing a Bob Marley fan, Im thinking about learning to play bass, thats how great the bass work is. But I hope the rest of the millions of people injoy it. Im hoping not to see any negative reviews!!! Plus, I enjoyed to see those pictures of Bob with the fro,("Neat and Presentable" as Babylon would say) I showed my Mom and Dad the pictures and they say "Thats Bob Marley!?!?! Yeah Right" I Guess the majority of people never saw Bob Marley before He discovered "The Truth". (Although a couple off these pictures were showned on "Behind The Music") So I would Recomend this collection to anyone.
