(5 out of 5 stars)
"PROS:
* Features the original Wailers vocal group: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso and Cherry Green
* Includes historical versions of "This Train", "Do You Remember" (AKA "How Many Times"), "Mr. Talkative" (AKA "Mr. Chatterbox"), "It Hurts To Be Alone", "Lonesome Feeling", "There She Goes" and "One Love"
* Chronological liner notes by Roger Steffens and Leroy Pierson
* In most cases the tracks were taken from the original (1963-1966) master tapes (fair sound quality)
CONS:
* In some cases the tracks were taken from the original acetates / Jamaican singles (lower sound quality)
BOTTOM LINE:
If you are a tried-and-true Wailers' fan, then this is a vital album for you; If you are not, then don't start your collection with this album (try "Burnin'" or "Catch A Fire" first)."
