classic LPs, terrible mastering November 9, 2009
M. Duke (Oakland, CA United States)
As others have posted, this CD compiles two sublime LPs from Toots and the Maytals, and easily rates 5 stars. My vinyl copy of Funky Kingston became a symphony of crackles and pops because I had played it so often. Unfortunately, the current collection does a real disservice to the music. In place of the warm and clear analog production of the originals, the recordings on the current CD are muffled and extremely muddy. I'm not an audio snob, but really, I find the CD to be almost unlistenable, which is a tragedy given that this is such joyful funky music.

AWESOME CD September 12, 2008

I've always prided myself in knowing the cool/awesome/off-the-wall music that no one else had heard of. So I'm embarassed that it took me 40 years to discover Toots. My God!!!! This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Cover to cover, this is incredible, beautiful music!! I wish I had it in college.

classic roots reggae album... November 13, 2007
B. Sharpe (ft lauderdale FL)
A must for anyone delving deeper into rock steady and roots reggae. The fact is that the jamaican roots music revelution went a lot deeper than Bob Marley. This is a good one to give you another point of view on how
oppressive the government is and the underlying love of their country that jamaicans embody. PEACE

Toots is best heard on LIVE recordings October 11, 2007
Scott A. Balun (Johns Creek, GA)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Sure...on this double album you get many of the tunes Toots and company have made famous but the studio versions lack the excitement and power of the live recordings. That is where Toots really shines. The band is able to stretch out and let Toots do his thing. If you want to hear the originals then this record is for you but if you want to get a load of the power that is Toots & The Maytals I'd highly recommend starting with "Live" and "Live in London" as they are far better representations of what this fine band can do. Roots, Rock, Reggae!
