I like the trojan box sets (which this is one of). They're good deals for the money, although without many extras in the packaging (which means they'll fit on your cd shelf).
 
 This is the one I have (not marley):
 Reggae Sisters

Good catch but like some many anthologies it makes for a fustrating decision.
 
 About 3/4 of the tracks on "Soul Revolutionaries"   are also on the Trenchtown Rock anthology.  The difference being SR includes the Soul Revolution Part II album which is the "dub" version of the record where just the vocals are mute leaving the instrumental tracks.  The Trenchtown Rock includes more of the ska tracks like "Concrete Jungle" and "Lively Up Yourself".  Neither of course includes the bonus tracks that were added to latest "Soul Rebels" release.
 
 At this point I'm leaning towards the Trenchtown Rock and picking up Soul Revolution Part II some other time.  Anyone know if the tracks on Trenchtown comp have been remastered as is the case with Soul Revolutionaries release?  And does the remastering really make any difference...

What Weller says...
 
 6) Bob Marley & The Wailers - Soul Rebels
 "There's a certain chemistry Bob Marley had when he worked with Lee Perry. It's got that great raw sound on it, but you can also hear that there was something special going on."
 
 (I'm sure we can all guess what that special substance was)
 
 The rest of the list of CD you gotta get right now...
 
 1) The Zombies - "Odessey & Oracle"
 2) Steve Wonder - "Innervisions"
 3) Marvin Gaye = "What's Going On"
 4) John Coltrane - "A Love Supreme"
 5) Alice Coltrane - "Journey in Satchidananda"
 
 7) Sly & The Family Stone - "Fresh"
  Donny Hathaway - "Live"
 9) The Beach Boys - "Friends"
 10) Nick Drake - "Five Leaves Left"
 11) The Kinks - "The Village Green Preservation Society"
 12) Charles Mingus - "Oh Yeah"

Oh yeah!!! Well many moons ago when Morrissey played Merriweather, he sang "That's Entertainment" and introduced it as a song written by Noel Coward!!!!
 
 That trumps anything Weller could ever say or do about the great miserable one!
     
 
 
 P.S. Mods were around when Weller was still shitting his nappy!

 Weller has a terrible haircut...or is that comment for another thread?

[kosmo vinyl]

this is true the haircut he sported in The Style Council was pretty lame...

I have Songs of Freedom and it's excellent. Particularly the first disc, which is the one that I can't find right now, damnit.

I was basically brought up listening to Rasta Revolution and African Herbsmen!  In a way Jamaican music peaks at those Lee Perry produced sessions, available on Trojan.
