Average Rating: Rating: - Best Collection of Marley around The best CD i own. This CD is a complete collection of Bob Marley's work from Judge Not to his final live song 'Redemption Song'. There is no better collection or album around than this, although it costs a little more, it will save you buying six or seven of bob's albums in the long run. Look out for the original limited edition (1,000,000 made)in the original box set from 1992. This is a rare find if you see one for sale. CD three is the best although on disc 2 there are seven fantastic acoustic versions of his songs that cannot be found anywhere else. This box set is a must for every bob marley...... no.... music lover. There are also a thousand collectors editions knocking around signed by Rita Marley, include the original box set, Legend CD, Natural Mystic CD and a hardback copy of the Songs of Freedom book all packaged in a gift box set these things are worth a mint. Although the CDs come in several different packages, any one of them is worth buying because of the excellent quality and selection of music on them. Happy Listening Rating: - A Perfect selection of Bob's music This is by far the best box set I own. It showcases Marley's talents from beginning to end and even gives you a beautiful acoustic medely of some of Bob's wonderful music. The songs are pretty much done in chronological order from the early days of ska, with Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh backing Marley, on through the rock steady era and finally into the era of reggae mystically and magically laid out in a way only Bob could do it. Please don't be fooled by all the Marley 3-cd sets and false box sets out there. You WILL be disappointed when you buy most of these sets (much of the songs were stolen then pirated and ended up victim to some very VERY bad production not to mention some aren't even Bob Marley at all). This box, Songs of Freedom, however, will NOT disappoint you. Even if you aren't into the old ska sound all that much you will soon find that, after a few plays, you will enjoy the ska and that disc one (ska/rock-steady) will become a favorite among the four. I actually enjoy disc two the best due to the acoustic medley, but even Screwface, Lick Samba, the alternate Trenchtown Rock, etc...make this a great collection. If you are just starting out with Bob Marley then I recommend starting with Songs of Freedom. Again, stick to THIS box set and if you want more Marley then move onto the original Bob Marley album releases, Legend and Natural Mystic. These are all a bit more pricey, but you get quality. Finally and again...stay away from all other Marley box sets even if they are [amt] for 5 cd's. You will get 5 cd's chock full of garbage. Believe me this set is worth the money you pay. (Check out Peter Tosh Box set and individual album releases also and Bunny Wailer Blackheart Man and Rootsman Skanking. I haven't seen too many bootlegs by these two performers that were all that bad, but if you don't know for sure then stick to the recommendations.) One Love! Rating: - Stunning collection of Bob Marley's work This is probably one of the best box sets I will ever own. The musicianship and artistry is remarkable across all four discs. It's consistently amazing. Usually the downfall of a box set is that it's little more than a cleverly repackaged greatest hits album with lots and lots of filler. The genius behind this set is the diversity in the offering and the format. Yes, there are a number of "hit songs" on this box set, but they're generally in the form of remixes, alternate takes or live versions. This way, the listener can really aprpeciate the craftsmanship of the song and revel in amazement at all of the subtle nuances that go into Marley's songwriting and playing. I'm glad this found its way into mass production again. Bob's music is timeless and everyone deserves the privilege of hearing his music. Hardcore fans and new fans alike will be amazed by the music contained in Songs of Freedom. Buy this one now.
