4 stars Diamond in the Rough
An overlooked, underated, seminal landmark of an album, not only for the Wailers but for Reggae in general. The production (Lee Perry), musical, and vocal arrangements on this album were groundbreaking. The Wailers experimented in ways they had not done before or after. Unique, original, raw, and stripped down. If you think "Legend" is the best the Wailers had to offer then this may not be your cup of tea. But if you're a budding Wailers/Reggae fan looking to expand your horizons this would be essential for your collection.

3 stars Songs available on better collections
The songs on this compilation are great, but pass on this release and go for "Soul Rebels" which is a superior collection of these tracks. "African Herbsman" also a wonderful collection of the earlier Marley stuff. "AH" is best in its remastered, 26 track form.
