Recommendations
Reviews
- Original mono mix, very good pressing. Unlike the recent Culture Factory reissue, this reissue on Jamwax does include the correct (vocal) version of Soul Shake Down Party. Highly recommended.
- Does this include the correct (vocal) version of Soul Shake Down Party? Or does it include the wrong (instrumental) version like the recent Culture Factory reissue?
- A collection of songs recorded for Leslie Kong, this isn't as essential as the stuff the Wailers did for Lee Perry, but it's still a crucial piece of the puzzle if you want a good sampling of Marley's pre-Island material. This particular pressing sounds a bit muffled, but not too bad. My copy plays nice and clean with faint surface noise at times.

Same remark as the two previous comments, it's not the vocal version of "Soul Shake Down Party" that's pressed on this record.
Very disappointing, because they did it very well otherwise (cover, labels, quality of pressing).
However, I doubt that they used the master tapes but rather the CD Jet Set Records - 44 403-2, Beverley's Records - BLP 011, Culture Press - 44 403-2 which features the instrumental "Soul Shake Down version" as a bonus track on the CD. The packaging notes state: Licensed from Licensemusic.com Aps Courtesy of Culture Press Sarl An original Beverley's recording. I've compared it with my original pressing and I can see the difference, despite a job well done.- Edited 9 months ago

Même remarque que les deux précédents commentaires, ce n'est pas la version vocale de "Soul Shake Down Party" qui est pressée sur ce disque.
Très décevant, parce qu'ils ont fait ça très bien par ailleurs (Pochette, labels, qualité du pressage).
Cependant, je doute qu'ils aient utilisé les bandes master mais plutôt le CD Jet Set Records – 44 403-2, Beverley's Records – BLP 011, Culture Press – 44 403-2 où figure justement le version instrumentale "Soul Shake Down version" en bonus track du CD. Il est indiqué sur les notes d'emballage: Licensed from Licensemusic.com Aps Courtesy of Culture Press Sarl An original Beverley's recording. Je l'ai comparé avec mon pressage original et je constate la différence malgré un travail bien fait.- The version of the first song (Soul Shake Down Party) included on this reissue is the wrong version of the song. The 1971 original includes the vocal version with the entire set of lyrics, while this reissue includes an instrumental version of the song (only the first two lines of the lyrics are sung) from the B-side of a 7" released in 1970. Very disappointing, because they got this so right otherwise (artwork, labels, pressing quality).
- Despite the claim this album is a faithful reproduction based on restored original tapes, this pressing contains an instrumental version of Soul Shake Down Party, unlike the original 1971 release.
Culture Factory website:
“The Best of The Wailers" was the first proper album by Bob Marley & The Wailers, recorded for Leslie Kong, Jamaica's most successful record producer of all time. These tapes have been restored by Nick Robbins in London and graded against all previous releases of "The Best of The Wailers" on vinyl. referencing Soul Shakedown (LP) AG 5308
Don't buy this! It's missing Soul Shakedown Party. Scratching my head...
