Synopsis

Album Description
The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®.

Uh, no.

"Any marley compilation with only ten tracks to its name should be considered with the highest suspicion, and this collection proves why. Even for a label-specific collection, it's grossly underwhelming and any reggae-neophyte probably has this stuff already.



Even at this price, it's not worth the money."
Excellent Music, Excellent Marley!

"Bob Marley is the king of reggae. These 10 tracks feature a pre-Island Bob Marley. So, if you want the Island tracks and Island tracks only, get Legend. But if you want a mixed bag of Marley's early music, this would be a nice addition to your Marley collection.



Bob Marley became famous on the Island label. He had numerous hits on that label including Buffalo Soldier, Redemption Song, I Shot The Sheriff, Three Little Birds, Easy Skanking and more. That was Phase 2 of his career. This is Phase 1 - all of the classics from Phase 1 are here. And, 24.bit remastering makes it sound crystal clear!



As it says on the cover, this compilation focuses on the JAD years. These are hits from 1967-1972 released initially and exclusively on the JAD label. It's not the best place to start if you're looking for a complete best of Marley, but it's a great book 1 of a 2 book series of his music.



This CD comes very highly recommended! It's WAY better than the Best Of The Wailers -- a CD that I recommend you avoid.



10 tracks 31:52 total time (admittedly a little skimpy)

Hip-O/JAD records 24.bit remastering spanning his career from 1967-1972. ENJOY!"
What?

"There are some good songs on this album, but it is definitely not the best of Bob Marley. Go buy Legend."
