Bob Marley And The Wailers Live!

Time Life was founded in 1961 as the book division of Time Inc.. It took its name from Time Inc.'s cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, but remained independent of both. During 1966, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the selection of books, music and videos grew and was diversified into more genres. When record labels stopped producing vinyl albums in 1990, Time Life switched to CD only. In the mid-1990s, Time Life acquired Heartland Music, with the Heartland Music label now appearing as a brand. This company was subsequently sold off and is no longer attached to Time Life.

This collection retailed for $100.00 when first released in 1993. There has never been a better collection of Rock Classics - probably never will be, what with the difficulties of gaining clearances and gathering the best materials. The seven CDs are divided into the years covered: 1967-69; 1969-70; 1971-73; 1973-77; 1977-82; 1982-86; 1986-92. Enclosed in each CD is a booklet with a capsule history of the music and a complete artist/title list. All of which contain from 15 to 17 tracks, for a total of 110.

The Reggae Box presents all different sides of Reggae. This deluxe 6CD box set features many of the biggest reggae classics, such as Stop The Train by Bob Marley And The Wailers, Rivers Of Babylon by Ronnie Davis, Monkey Man by Toots and the Maytals and the fantastic Some Like It Hot by Dennis Brown. We also find some great dub versions from Bob Marley’s repertoire performed by the Wailers themselves (Get Up, Stand Up and Concrete Jungle). The collection dedicates a complete CD to reggae’s roots: calypso and mento, and finally, another CD that showcases the re-invention of the genre in the 80s, with songs of Bad Manners, Selecter, the Beat and the punk band Alternative TV. The Reggae Box is the compilation that every pop culture lover should have in his music collection.
