Bob Marley and The Wailers: The Birth of a legend, Vol. 1 (1977)
This is an odd record because it sounds nothing like the Bob Marley we all know and love. This is a compilation of early Wailers. It's roots reggae, ska, rocksteady, and R & B. The style will probably confound those who know the super Marley hits. The cover image (of which there are many versions) here is misleading. This is the pre-dread, pre-rasta period.
