The Wailing Wailers burst onto the Jamaican music scene at the height of the ska era in 1964, recording nearly one hundred songs for producer Coxsone Dodd’s ground-breaking Studio One imprint. This exclusive reissue of their legendary first album, features three immortals who went on to stupendously successful solo careers: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Neville Livingston.

In 1965, no one thought that the Wailers would become the most important group in the history of Jamaican music. Bob Marley & the Wailers would become as important to reggae as the Beatles were to British rock in terms of influence and bringing a new musical style to the world, and Marley, Peter Tosh, and Neville Livingston would all go on to celebrated solo careers.
