"A great compilation of songs from the wailers short-lived record label 'wail'nsoul'm'. This cd features original versions of later remade songs, as well as many rarities to keep the true bob fan happy. Most of the tracks are rocksteady, and it is really the platform from which bob, peter and bunny built up from later on when they went their seperate ways. Stand out tracks for me include:
2.Freedom Time - i cant get enough of this track, i love the music, the rhythm, EVERYTHING!, But the lyrics are really great. Alot of the song 'Crazy Baldhead' lyrics come from this original cut. my sermon it was billed for freedom, the good lord said son you're a free man, i'm gonna talk that freedom talk, let me see you walk that freedom walk, LOVE IT
5. Nice Time - this song always gets stuck in my head, 'long time we no have no nice time...' a good song to hum along to, keeps me going at work hummin away!
11.Funeral- i love the original version of this song which peter tosh remade later on. it features peters powerful vocals and strong lyrics.Bob, bunny and rita on backing.'YOU MUST SEE WANT I FE COM'A COM'A FUNERAL AND I NO GO NO ONE BURIAL
actually, no i like the whole damn album!, they are all stand out tracks i could go on forever, an essential buy, especially with its good sound quality, definetly 5 STARS"
