This assortment of rare and previously unreleased songs from the trio that later became the world's greatest reggae band offers insight into Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer's musical beginnings. Then known as Nesta Marley, Peter McIntosh, and Bunny Livingstone, the three teens recorded reams of ska, pop, soul, doo-wop, and any other style producer Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd requested. Dodd was the father of the Jamaican hit record in the '60s and his renowned Studio One was the home of his hit factory. Despite poor recording quality and a selection of mostly obscure tunes not found on other Wailers collections, this set will please the hardcore Wailers fan. Previously unreleased tracks are included as well as ska favorites "Don't Ever Leave Me" and "Do It Right." The ska cuts are the highlights; the doo-wop and American covers are worthy for the sake of history. If you're tracing the career of Bob Marley or the Wailers, this is essential to understanding their point of origin. --Karen Karleski

Customer Reviews

Very early wailers recordings
The destiny tracks are some of the very first tracks done by Bob marley & the wailers. Most of the tracks were produced by the great Clement Dodd. Although most of the tracks have a ska vibe but there are also quite a few doo wop songs, even a couple of pop tunes on this CD. There's even a version of white christmas. :) Most newbie BMW (Bob Marley & the Wailers) may want to pass on this one because it is very raw and not as polished as their later efforts but serious wailer fans will definetely appreciate these early sessions. standout tracks are Destiny, Don't ever leave me, I stand Predominant, Where is my mother, treat me good and jerk in time.

Doooon't ever leeeeaver me...
This song is worth owning the record for alone. It can be fun going through these old school compilations because you never know what you might come across, and this one is good.

Great album........
If your into old school ska with a doo-wop feel, check this album out. Sit on your porch on a sunny day with an iced cold beverage and just be happy....or don't....I really don't care, but I like the album....and if you are cool, then you will too.
