- The best reggae music there is.
Whether you're a reggae fan or not, you will enjoy this long awaited box set. This is simply the best Jamaican music you will find anywhere. It covers ska, rock steady, and early reggae hits by one of the islands top bands, Toots & the Maytals. Packed with hit after hit after hit, this set is sure to please, from early ska tunes like "It's You" and "My New Name" to the classic rock steady beat of "54-46 That's My Number" to the funky reggae beat of "Time Tough."
For Maytals fans this is an absolute must. This set marks the first time the exceedingly rare "Greatest Hits" album has been available on CD. The album features classic singles like "One Eye Enos" and "54-46 Was My Number" as well as rarely heard tunes like "I Feel Alright" and "Teacher Teacher."
Fantastic from start to finish, even the casual reggae listener will be able to appreciate the musical genius in this set. If you were not a Maytals fan before, you will be after listening to classics "Sweet & Dandy" and "Pressure Drop." This irresistable set should be in your box now!
- Toots Always Full Of Surprises
Watch out for the famous big hits of Toots as there's plenty of alternate versions here. A classy addition to any Toots or Toots and The Maytals collection. - gnikcuF ~ 'A', man......
Are You gnikcuF kidding me? This is the best sounding copies of this I have ever heard. You know that Santuary is gonna do a Kikass job too.
ylgnikcuF RECOMMENDED!!!
You can't ask for anymore from this box, really. Even the radio single versions are on this mutha!
GIT IT!
Acquavinyl here.
Cheers!
- Toots at his best!
As a long time Toots fan I couldn't have gotten this collection fast enough. Although some of the songs were available on other collections this set has it all in their original format. Whats better the Maytals are on each CD and thier harmony can't be beat! I've seen Toots live several times and although he is excellent he has yet to find backing vocals that come close (He's still my favorite performer-better than Bob Marley, Peter Tosh or UB40). He has so much energy that you have to get up and dance. If you are a fan buy this collection while you still can! If not....why are you reading this? 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
- If I could afford to, I'd buy this twice...
...and I heartily agree with the review below, some of the greatest reggae music ever made. And "Pressure Drop" is easily my single favorite reggae song ever, end of story (second would be "Uptown Top Ranking").
I do subscribe to the theory, expounded by others in the past, that 90% of everything is bupkes. It certainly is true of reggae - so much of it is simply boring. So, why not get the best?, which Toots represents, along with a few others, like Marley, Tosh, Yellowman, and...well that's about it...
And, I love everything Marley has done, but haven't we all heard Legend enough? Play this when your roommate trots that out for the quadrillionth time...
