Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite its title, this is not a compilation, but rather a crucial studio album recorded prior to the group's international breakthrough with Island Records. Produced by Leslie Kong, the sessions capture Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer transitioning from rocksteady into the slower, more deeply spiritual grooves of early roots reggae. It serves as a vital historical document of the trio's evolving artistic maturity.
