Some really interesting cuts are unearthed on this fantastic new compilation which makes a nice change to the normally slap dash exhumation of Marley's career. Here we have DJ cuts from the great U Roy, Big Youth and Johnny Lover, all of them well worth a spin.
Digi pack version of the 1973 album from the king of reggae Bob Marley with the Wailers. Produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry, this includes Marley classics such as "Duppy Conqueror", "African Herbsman", "Trenchtown Rock" and thirteen other top roots reggae smokers.
Dualdisc reissue of classic early pre-Island era Marley album, the one some people cite as his best. Well, it does feature 'Trench Town Rock' 'Duppy Conqueror' 'Small Axe' and the original version of 'Lively Up Yourself', so there could be something in that theory!! Produced by the Upsetter himself, Lee Scratch Perry, and one can hear his swirling insanity bubbling away beneath the bare-boned sparse surface that was the hallmark of most early 70s reggae classics. Now containing two sides' worth of goodies- the music on one side, lyrics, images and 'stuff' on the other.

Great compilation that features B-sides to the original singles plus some impressive mixes from dub plates. Summer is here and the dub is ripe for the picking!

Twenty four track compilation of rarities and live work from the kings of reggae. Tracks include "Trenchtown Rock", "Duppy Conqueror" and "Lively Up Yourself".
An international success upon its release in 1973 merging rock and reggae rhythms to amazing effect. All the songs were originals, often politically charged lyrics and streetwise. 'Catch a Fire' is one of the finest reggae albums ever, essential for any reggae collection. Smoke de herb and enjoy.
A classic gem from Mr Marley containing such reggae greats as the magnificent "Jamming", " Waiting In Vain" and the brilliant title track itself. This is the album that spawned Bob Marley’s most successful run of singles. All of which probably explains why the album spent over 1 year on the UK charts alone! As we always seem to say, this is seriously another quintessential classic album which NEEDS to be in everyone’s collection. In short, another essential purchase!

Reissue of the first Marley album to be credited to the Wailers, produced by Lee Perry and originally released in 1970. Features 'Try Me' (the closest Marley ever came to Motown) 'Soul Almighty' 'My Cup' (on which the beat appears to be almost upside down and inside out) and 'No Sympathy' not to mention the apocalyptic Bunny Wailer-fronted "400 Years" which is not only natty but full of dread in both senses of the word. Revised Dualdisc format includes music on one side, lyrics and images on the other.
Trojan Records' release of fourteen of the best Perry vocal sessions plus the only "legitimate" Wailers dub album ever, with four bonus tracks. Tracks include "Duppy Conqueror", "Dracula" and "Kaya".
Four of Marley and the Wailers' first five (ie pre-Island) albums, with revised running orders, collected together in a limited edition set with faithful reproductions of all the original artwork included. Not heard as often as the later material, this is the music that the foundations of Marley's work were built upon (although by no means was this his earliest era). 'Duppy Conqueror' 'Soul Rebel' and 'African Herbsman' are all here, as well as early versions of 'Kaya' and 'Fussing and Fighting'. At last you can hear this music the way it was the first time round, albeit 'inna' digitised form
Six CD cigarette styled box set covering every single recorded by The Wailers for Lee 'Scratch' Perry's Upsetter label (Ark Studio's) in the late sixties and early seventies. 110 tracks (count 'em!) in total and detailed booklet.
Very limited (1000 only) fifty six track, 4 CD box set 12" x 12" including the albums "Rasta Revolution", "African Herbsman", "In The Beginning" and "Soul Revolution Pt 2". A great collection of the Wailers' early recordings (made under the guidance of Lee'Scratch' Perry amongst others).
A unique collection, bringing together the best of the pre-Island Bob Marley as well as a number of rare late '70's records by the Wailers founding member Peter Tosh. Largely a focus upon the groundbreaking recordings recorded with Lee Perry at the start of the '70's, it highlights the brilliant work ethic of the Wailers and Bob's prolific songwriting.
