Jamwax (JAMWAX LP 09)
1x Vinyl LP Reissue 180g Limited Edition 500 copies worldwide
Release date: Jun 14, 2024, France
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 Sounds Studios (Kingston, Jamaica), from
29th April until 19th May 1970.
Originally released on August 9th of 1971 by Beverley's Records,
135 b Orange Street, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies.
