This is not only Bob Marley, but it's the original Wailers. Singing great songs on here such as Cheer Up, Can't You See, Go Tell it on the Mountain, Soul Captives, Soon Come, Hold on to This Feeling, Mr.Chatterbox, and all the instrumental takes at the end. This is a good collection of songs from the Wailers of 1969-70. And if you want the songs that came right before this, see Rock to the Rock, and Selassie is the Chapel, both inwhich I reviwed. And there is also a story behind this CD. Buy and it will explain. Along with keep you going with good Wailer music.

This Cd is not for eveyone. It's title can be very misleading, it is in no way similar to Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and wasn't meant to be. Actually the only way I can figure it is that the company ran out of good titles for there 8 CD collection and were stuck using something cliche. The whole collection in general is brilliant. All these CDs are great for alternate takes and never heard before versions, especially because it can be so difficult to find recordings from this period. All the songs are of the utmost sound quality. This whole collection is worth a serious look by any Bob fan, but if you're taking your first look at Robert Nesta Marley I would sugget starting with some Tuff gong releases (like Babylon by Bus.)

I love Bob Marley but can't afford to waste money on his lesser stuff. This was packaged to look important but any hardcore fan could tell after a few minutes it was really lowgrade leavings and things laying around for reggae ripoff people to put out only for the sake of money. Buy Legend or Songs of Freedom but not this awful yardsale!
