Free Music Notes for Reggae Greats

Free Music Review: Toots is AMAZING - find a better collection though.
Hit: 2 Stars

There is no doubt Toots and the Maytals are Reggae greats, reggae pioneers, and deserve a lot more recognition than they have recieved.
The songs on this collection are edited (shortened)horribly however. Most notable is the intro to, and the bridge of "54-46 Was My Number", both being completely ommited. Many of the edits eliminate the R&B and gospel influenced parts of the tracks that make Toots and Maytals unique.

I would reccomend instead of this collection, you should try "20th Century Masters, The Best of Toots & The Maytals, The Millenium Collection" The edits are not present, and song choices are better (contains all the great songs the previous reviewer reccomended).

Reggae Greats Poster

Toots is one of the true architects of reggae - so much so that "Do the Reggay," a 1968 single by Toots and his group, the Maytals, is credited with giving the genre its name. Classic songs written and recorded by Toots and the Maytals have been covered by the likes of the Clash and the Specials, and the group was featured in reggae's greatest breakthrough event - "The Harder They Come," the 1972 film that became an international sensation. This compilation features their greatest hits. Universal. 2005.
