"I've Been Wondering how long this was going to reach! I got mine today, and seeing how Im the first reviewer, Ill tell you what to expect. First off, for the big fans, you probably already have the majority of these songs, from the JAD COLLECTION 1967 -1972, so this might not even be exciting and new for you. But for me some of the songs that I dont have from the JAD COLLECTION 1967-1972. But One noticable difference is "Hypocrites" If the one you're used to is from the songs of freedom set, well this one is different from it. Some of the songs do tend to fade out a little bit earler than from the Songs Of Freedom set. The volume of the disc itself is more louder, the quality as well, the book, which is mainly what I look for, since I do have the majority of the songs, is full of new bits, not much, but good enough to hold me over till the next one comes out. The other little additions are that they add a little more Peter Tosh songs than the Previous Jad collection, (as you know that some of these songs that were on THIS NEW COLLECTION was also on the older JAD Collection). This is (for those who dont know) is the official release, meaning that Bob Marley's Family, Peter Tosh's Family, & Bunny Wailer, get royalties from these releases. So people DONT, DONT, DONT, buy those poor quality, cheap, bootleg copies that have been out there since Bob Marley has been famous. Get the real thing. Highly Recommended."

WATCH OUT - this box has wrong track on disc 2

"I've written glowing reviews of UM/Hip-O's 3 box set series of the complete Bob Marley & Wailers - what an incredible job they did gathering every known track and dub from 1966-1972.

(the other 2 sets are "Grooving Kingston 12" and "Fy-ah Fy-ah") BUT, this set unfortunately has a track on disc 2 (This Train)listed as the Pouder Version that is actually the Wail'n'Soul'm Version that already apperared on disc 1! I e-mailed UM about this and was told to return my set to them for a new one - when I did, I got back one with the same mastering mistake and a promo cut thru the bar-code. What a drag that they messed up such a great set."
