The production quality has drastically improved compared to the rest of their pre-existing discography. However, this album's songwriting sounds a bit more reminiscent of their Soul Rebels album effort. Oh sure, the audibility sounds more polished but the song writing feels a bit off in some areas. Even so, a pretty nice addition to any reggae collection.

This has got to be one of the most misleading album titles out there. This isn't a "Best Of" compilation. This isn't even a compilation to begin with. This is all original material unavailable anywhere else that the group recorded in late 1969 to early 1970. Thus, this record is a needed listen if one is to be familiar with everything the famous group have done. What's awesome about it is, more than anything, how perfectly simple it is. Ten really catchy, bouncy roots reggae tracks totaling about twenty-five minutes in length. It marks a transitioning period from the upbeat, often uptempo style of the gospel Wailers and the slower, rawer pre-Island Wailers. It's truly a shame that this material, which is all high in quality, is often completely overlooked due to people being led to believe it's just a comp by its own title. By all means, give this one a listen, as it's truly the pleasant surprise.
