"ok check it out brethren, this cd is most definitely worthwhile, especially at that pricepoint. You get some super chill dubs on the CD 2, like ish you never heard the wailers play. word, that's because its not the wailers, it's lee 'scratch' perry's band, the upsetters. So they collected all these singles from the marley/upsetters colabo and threw them on these CDs. You gotta check Mr. Brown, that track is so nasty. Otherwise, we got some classic Bob vocals, backed by those wailers, not to mention a couple tosh-led tracks, and some inspired instrumentation. The digital remastering isn't most incredible, and some tracks are mono (!), but that's not too much of a worry. Go schhhheck it out. But hol' on, people. If you don't have the deluxe edition of "Catch A Fire", with the unreleased Jamaican recorded album, you should check that, and then come back and peep this selection, selectah!"
