bob marley ohhhhh its my bigbrother i cannot sleep befor listning one of his song 
2007-05-12 - more than good
This is an illegal release! 
2004-02-19 - This is an illegal bootleg release. Buy 'The Complete Bob Marley & the Wailers 1967-1972', parts 2 and 3 (from JAD Records) or Bob Marley & The Wailers albums from Trojan Records instead, if you want to have the songs on this album. JAD's and Trojan's releases are legal, and the sound quality is often much better on their albums. Also, if you buy the box sets from JAD, part of the money will go to the Bob Marley and Peter Tosh families and Bunny Wailer (the three original Wailers).
Awesome Collection of Vintage Marley
2003-03-31 - I have read some of the other review and this is a GREAT collection especially considering the price! I have a pretty decent collection of Bob Marley and have been a big fan from the mid-70s. Many of these songs are available on other Wailer disks but these two CDs contain some of the best versions of these songs that are available. I don't have much information on the history of these recordings and wish I did. They appear to be made before the height of the Wailer's commercial success. The cuts are pure, raw, and without any studio over-polished sound. I listen to these disks over and over again. These are some of the best old cuts of Marley that I have. I like this collection better then the Trojan Trenchtown Rock Anthology. I challenge you to listen to Natural Mystic and Trenchtown Rock on this version and then put in the versions on Tuff Gong / Island's Natural Mystic The Legend and I think you will agree that these Retro cut are awesome. I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in Bob Marley and especially fans that want to get an appreciation for some of the earlier stuff. At the price of this set you can not go wrong! Oh, I think the sound quality is pretty good!!! You will not be disappointed with these disks. I have the 2001 Recording Arts, Dejavu Retro Gold Collection edition.

2003-01-27 - bob marley god. his origonal recordings are better than the remastered [recordings]. way better. thats what this is. its origonal bob marley, the way he sounded, the true jamacan reggae. if you think this is poorly recorded... thats cause it is. jamaca isnt a rich place with nice recording studios.... and this is essential for anyone who calls themselves bob marley fans. bob marley is god. buy this. its great. peace man
a good start
2000-06-09 - if you are trying to get all of bobs material, this is a good start for 40 great tunes. this and songs of freedom are a must. you need this though b/c not all of these songs are on songs of freedom, so therefor you need them. the quality is as good as any bob song from this era. people need to realize not all bob songs sound like legend or kaya or rastaman vibration. this is how many of the songs sound like. great great great every song, not a bad one in the set.
