The Wailers - The Best Of The Wailers

The Best Of The Wailers

1971 classic reggae LP featuring Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston

Deluxe package includes printer inner sleeve

Whereas before all Jamaican recordings were made for 7-inch single releases, this recording session was held to release the longplay album The Best Of The Wailers, the very first album by The Wailers, and the very first album in reggae at all.

Recorded before their involvement with Lee Perry but not released until 1971 this is the Wailers at their soulful best. The songs are simple yet powerful. There are great harmonies between Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, and unlike their later releases with Island records the sound isn't embellished. Each and every song is memorable, they are all classics.

Recorded at Dynamic Sound Studios, Kingston, Jamaica, from April 29 to May 19, 1970.
