Best, The - Bob Marley

Advantages: I you want to remember Bob Marley as he was at his best..then buy
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this album because I was impressed.Ipopped the CD on andnstantly track after track, I was getting down to the sounds of Bob Marley. I actually listened to the words and begin to see the truth in his music. I love this album. If I had the choice between this album and any new age raggae, I would pick Bob Marley's CD. He is legendary and just listening to his music, you will see why he still widely listened to. This CD is worth every penny that I paid for it. And believe me, I have recommended it to several of my friends.... Read review

Advantages: 14 great songs, good introduction to reggae at it's best
Disadvantages: Only 14 tracks

...This is a compilation album, and probably the best, I don't think it has chose his best 14 songs ever, that would be impossible to decide but, this album does have a beautiful feel to it - very relaxing. I think if you have never heard of Bob Marley you should buy this album to find out. Bob Marley was a true legend and an inspiration to millions of people, Africans,Rastafairians, Jamaicans alike. This album portrays 14 of his best songs from throughout his career. I think any die-hard reggae fan should have this in his collection and anyone who is looking to explore other cultures or wants to learn more about Marley and reggae in general would really be missing out if they did not buy this album. 'I Shot The Sheriff'; 'Get Up, Stand Up,'; and 'No Woamn No Cry' are 3 songs which you may have heard and not know it was even Bob Marley... Read review

Advantages: New unseen footage...........
Disadvantages: CD has the usual Bob compilation tracks......

...years, bob did get some treatment in Bavaria but this treatment was not recognised by western medical professionals, and the documentary describes it as a sort of cowboy treatment he received out there. An artists of Bobs magnitude surely should have been receiving only the best medical care at this time, as we all know sadly the cancer in bobs toe spread around his body and was the cause of his early death. Overall i'd give this documentary 8 out of 10 and it has to be one of the best bob documentaries out there right now, even though the dvd has received very little publicity this does not mean it's not good, if you get the chance to see it then make sure you do, plus u get the pleasure of listening to a Bob Marley CD which has the usual compilation tracks. A Great Film.............. Read review
