Destiny:
Rare Ska Sides From Studio 1
Bob Marley |
This assortment of rare and previously unreleased songs from
the trio that later became the world's greatest reggae band
offers insight into Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer's
musical beginnings. Then known as Nesta Marley, Peter McIntosh,
and Bunny Livingstone, the three teens recorded reams of ska,
pop, soul, doo-wop, and any other style producer Clement "Sir
Coxsone" Dodd requested. Dodd was the father of the Jamaican
hit record in the '60s and his renowned Studio One was the home
of his hit factory. Despite poor recording quality and a selection
of mostly obscure tunes not found on other Wailers collections,
this set will please the hardcore Wailers fan. Previously unreleased
tracks are included as well as ska favorites "Don't Ever Leave
Me" and "Do It Right." The ska cuts are the highlights; the
doo-wop and American covers are worthy for the sake of history.
If you're tracing the career of Bob Marley or the Wailers, this
is essential to understanding their point of origin.
