Pro Reviews: Essential Bob Marley and the Wailers
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews There are countless Bob Marley collections on the market, most of them drawing from his preIsland Records Jamaican releases. These are usually poorly annotated, tossedtogether affairs of dubious legality, and since Marley the Wailers often rerecorded songs at various stages of their career, it can be nearly impossible to tell which versions you're getting without actually playing the disc. All of this confusion is a shame, since some of Marley's best work was done before the group signed its Island contract, and many casual Marley fans have no idea this stuff even exists, which is why this twodisc set from Trojan/Sanctuary is so welcome. It does a decent job of cherrypicking key Wailers tracks from several Jamaican producers, and makes a nice entry into the mare's nest of preIsland releases. Included are tracks produced by Bunny Lee ("Mr. Chatterbox"), Leslie Kong ("Caution," "Soul Shakedown Party," "Stop the Train," "Back Out," "Cheer Up," "Soul Captives"), Ted Powder ("Adam and Eve"), a handful of Wailers selfproductions ("Concrete Jungle," "Lively Up Yourself," "Satisfy My Soul"), and a generous selection of Lee "Scratch" Perry's 1970 and 1971 work with the group ("Mr. Brown," "Small Axe," "Kaya," "Soul Rebel," "Sun Is Shining," "Brand New Second Hand," "Duppy Conqueror," "Stand Alone"). Perry also worked with Marley for brief periods in 1976 and 1977, and "Who Colt the Game," "I Know a Place," "Natural Mystic," and "Keep on Skanking" are included from those sessions. The end result isn't the essential Bob Marley the Wailers, as the title proclaims, but it certainly contains tracks that are essential, particularly the Perry material. Serious fans of the Wailers will already have everything here, but for casual listeners looking for a wellsequenced set of the earlier years to augment the Island releases, this one fills the bill nicely. - Steve Leggett, All Music Guide |
