Customer Reviews

Artists not Unknown
To Ben Thomas (who reviewed this earlier) and anyone else thinking about buying this. The artists on this compilation are not unknown at all. Some may be obscure, but there are others such as the great Toots & the Maytals, fantastic singer Edi Fitzroy, and worthy UK contenders Steel Pulse. If you do not recognize these names then you do need to brush up on your reggae knowledge. By all means, do check out Peter Tosh but don't let your musical education in regard to reggae end there. I think the bulk of this CD was recorded during the 80s which wasn't the era that most people are familiar with (that would be the original roots material of the late 60s and through the 70s) so don't come to this CD expecting soulful Marley type singing. It's a Beatles cover CD - it's pretty commerical stuff. If you're expecting something more you're fooling yourself.

Seek (further) and you shall find ... a good reggae tribute
I bought this CD with high expectations being a lover of both reggae and the Beatles. It has mediocre renditions at best. If you would like an excellent reggae tribute CD seek out Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead Vol 1. It is not that easy to find but is well worth the effort. Vol 2 is easier to find although not quite as good as Vol 1. But either one is still better than this CD.

WASTE OF MONEY TOO
This cd should be called "Stay apart". Unknown artists singing forgettable music by a great group. I got this cd with the rest of the series and all I can say is THIS CD IS BORING! Save your money. There are so many good Cdz on the market. Check out Peter Tosh or something good. The production is tinny also. Reminds me of a cheap car radio.
