"I am a big fan of early Wailers material, and hearbeat continues to put out quality stuff from the early ska/rocksteady years. Another great thing about this cd is that the it is not all studio one matrial, but also has 6 Lee Perry produced tracks and the difference between Coxsone's and Perry's production is very interesting to hear. Some great hits are here including "Rasta Shook Them Up","Maga Dog", and my favorite "Shame and Scandal". If you like this you should check out the One Love boxed set, Destiny, or Wailers and friends all on heartbeat."

Marvelous

"This Heartbeat cd hits Tosh's Rude Boy credentials right on the head and helps to show that Tosh, more than Marley, gave the Wailers their roots credibility.The songs, like Tosh himself, are rough, no holds barred attacks on whomever and whatever he felt like attacking. Many of these songs, including "400 Years," "(Brand New)Secondhand," the anthem "I'm the Toughest," "Don't Look Back," and "No Sympathy," would all see the light of day on Wailers or Tosh solo albums.This is an amazing collection of songs and I'm happy that its there to be had. Well worth listening to."
