The Wailers - Singles & Rarities Collection 1962 - 1970 (The EarlyYears)

A real treat on offer right here, this is an excellent collection of The Wailers earliest recordings. From Robert Marley's debut studio single "Judge Not" of 1962, through the early formation of The Wailing Wailers and their phenomenal Ska work at Studio One, right up to the groups late '60's, early reggae material.

The vast majority of tracks here are directly cut from original 7 inch singles and the sound quality is rather good considering the age of this material. There are rarities galore covering all of the groups recordings from the Ska and Rocksteady period of Jamaican music and it's also fasinating just how many R'n'B and Gospel tracks the group cut along the way.

I doubt that this collection is complete, I'm sure there are a number of tracks missing (notably the heavily rumoured "Terror"), but this album covers pretty much everything of worth by The Wailers during the 1960's. The hardcore Marley fans would probably have most of this material, others may have a few compilations covering this era such as "The Wailing Wailers At Studio One", "Climb The Ladder", "Destiny" and "The Birth Of A Legend" ect.., but this 155 song set covering the entire 1960's period is the most extensive we have come across.


The album ends around 1970 with the groups work with producer Ted Pounder, just before the golden period of the early 1970's and The Wailers incredible collaborations with the legendary Lee "Scratch" Perry.

That period is covered in the next set "Singles And Rarities 1970 - 1972 - The Breakthrough Years" which we are also hoping to make available on Sweet Rare Reggae Music, soon come ; )

There maybe some people out there who only know Bob Marley And The Wailers for their releases on Island records in the 1970's, the big hitters such as "Jamming", "One Love", "Buffalo Soldier" and the greatest hits album "Legend", but the history of The Wailers goes right back to the beginnings of Jamaican music, long before Reggae and Rastafari. A time when American R'n'B influenced the people on the small island of Jamaica to create their own sound, Ska Music, and Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston would first enter the scene.

These are the songs of three young, teenage Jamaicans apsiring to greatness.

Enjoy!  : )
