Search - Bob Marley :: Complete Bob Marley & Wailers 1967-72 3

For the serious fan

11/10/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not for the casual listener and not the best installment of the series, but essential music for any serious fan of reggae or of Bob Marley. Many feel that the Wailers' Jamaican recordings from the late sixties and very early seventies, especially those produced by Lee Scratch Perry, were their best. The first part of this collection has some of these cuts (see part two for the rest of them). Also included are some rawer run-throughs of tunes that would later show up in more refined and listener-friendly versions on Marley's Island Records releases, and some wonderful things you will only find here. There are also some missteps. A good chunk of this set merely makes for interesting historical listening, but what is good here is as good as anything Marley ever recorded."

"This whole JAD series is really great, seriously some of the best Bob recordings out there. Not because of the high-fidelity or "hits" either - these are the original recordings, and are much much better than the hollywood-ized late 70's remakes (though those had their own appeal as well). These recordings have been digitally cleaned up but nothing has been changed, no remixing or additional production added - this the real stuff, straight from the original creative impulses, un-diluted. I would say the 3-cd box of Part II in this series is better, but all 3 parts are excellent. This is sooo much better than what 99% of other recorded musicians will ever leave behind for us."
