I picked this up for $5 in Brunswick. The opening track ''Reggae Fever'' by Curly David is superb, also the Otis Redding cover ''Dock Of The Bay'' by Club Safari. This compilation has later 80s hits mingled in with classic early Bob Marley, which comes across as a very eclectic compilation. There is no information about this release on the internet, and I am assuming it is Australian. It really makes one wonder if Bob Marley kept releasing music throughout the 80s if he had in fact survived. Would Marley have changed his sound like how Desmond Dekker and Jimmy Cliff changed to suit the times that they were in, which were the rapidly expanding 80s era?
