"One of my favorite reggae albums. I have had either the CD or cassette of this since it was first released. This is good spiritual music, with a ton of youthful excitement, that carries the emotion and message of their late great father. This music is not identical to Bob's, it's a little lighter, with more of a rock/pop production style. But it's still reggae. Very good reggae. If you like reggae or just getting into reggae this a great album. Unless you've followed reggae for a decade or more, you might not have heard this music before. It gets far less airplay than their late 80's/early 90's releases (Concious Party, One Bright Day era.) It may not be as sophisticated as his later releases, but this is still excellent music. This release introduced a lot of my friends to reggae. Many of them liked it and expanded their tastes to a lot of other reggae artists. Thanks Ziggy, Stephen, Sharon and Cedella for your great music over the years. This album brings back a lot of excellent memories. It's good summertime party music too."

"This compliation is the only place to find the old favorites of the "Play the Game Right" album that is no longer in publication. As such, it is the truest look at the beginning sounds of the "Legendary Children." It is a can't miss for true lovers of the Marley sound, as the harmonic genius of the Melody Makers comes shining through! For those of us who wore out their original tape of "Play the Game Right" this is the only way to get to hear the original cuts that set to define the Ziggy of today."

Wonderful Music

On one sunny Summer Day in New York City, I was fortunate to witness LIVE these gifted Marley's kids in Central Park West. They played some of the songs on this CD. Nonetheless, this CD is gooood from first to the last song. Israel King: Author/Publisher of: How To Keep A Man"
