This set collects 19 tracks from the early days of Bob Marley & The Wailers, all recorded for Clement Dodd`s Studio One label. Bob Marley, Bunny Livingston, and Peter Tosh were backed by some of the architects of the early ska and reggae sound: keyboardist Jackie Mittoo, guitarist Ernest Ranglin (listen to both takes of "Don`t Ever Leave Me" to hear two completely different and stunning solos), and members of The Skatalites. DESTINY includes such great originals as "Do You Feel the Same Way Too" and, with their ear tuned to the American radio dial, covers of "What`s New Pussycat" and "White Christmas." The music is flush with the excitement of something new unfolding. The detailed and extensive liner notes give full song-by-song descriptions and histories. This collection is a fine companion to the SIMMER DOWN AT STUDIO ONE and WAILING WAILERS sets.
