Review - Product Description
Bob Marley is an icon. Over two decades after his death, his music continues to thrill those who hear it, whether they are new fans or long-time followers. His music speaks to the common man and celebrates life. Whether you prefer the early recordings from the '60s or his 'hit period' in the '70s, there's rarely a dull moment in his catalog. This album is from the JAD catalogue, which draws together the first flush of singles that Bob Marley & The 'Wailing' Wailers released on their Wail 'n Soul 'm imprint. Full of classic tracks like 'Stir It Up', 'Mellow Mood', 'Freedom Time' and 'Bend Down Low', Singles Selecta finds Bob, Peter, Bunny & Rita releasing one Rock Steady gem after another. 23 total tracks. Universal. 2005.

- a great compilation

A great compilation of songs from the wailers short-lived record label 'wail'nsoul'm'. This cd features original versions of later remade songs, as well as many rarities to keep the true bob fan happy. Most of the tracks are rocksteady, and it is really the platform from which bob, peter and bunny built up from later on when they went their seperate ways. Stand out tracks for me include:

2.Freedom Time - i cant get enough of this track, i love the music, the rhythm, EVERYTHING!, But the lyrics are really great. Alot of the song 'Crazy Baldhead' lyrics come from this original cut. my sermon it was billed for freedom, the good lord said son you're a free man, i'm gonna talk that freedom talk, let me see you walk that freedom walk, LOVE IT

5. Nice Time - this song always gets stuck in my head, 'long time we no have no nice time...' a good song to hum along to, keeps me going at work hummin away!

11.Funeral- i love the original version of this song which peter tosh remade later on. it features peters powerful vocals and strong lyrics.Bob, bunny and rita on backing.'YOU MUST SEE WANT I FE COM'A COM'A FUNERAL AND I NO GO NO ONE BURIAL

actually, no i like the whole damn album!, they are all stand out tracks i could go on forever, an essential buy, especially with its good sound quality, definetly 5 STARS

- The Wailers Album You Should Hear Next

I'm a fan of the "lost" period of the Wailers; that period between late 1966 (after leaving Studio One) and 1972(before signing with Island). But in that amazing time, when the Wailers found their voice and musical style, this selection is my favorite.

This is essentially ALL the rocksteady by the Wailers available on record. Some of these songs will resurface later ("Nice Time", "Stir It Up"), but all are worth hearing on their own merit here.

Bob, Bunny, and Peter (plus Rita Marley on a number of tracks) are at the top of their vocal game at this time (esp. listen to "Hypocrites" and "Buss Dem Shut"). The Wailers were never thighter as a vocal group. Others of my favorites are "Thank You Lord", "This Train", and also the Southern Soul-inspired "The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow".

The collection as a whole has a rootsy, acoustic, organic feel augmented by the musicianship of Kingston's best session men and is unlike any other Jamiacan music of the period.
