This excellent three-disc box set collects material the Wailers recorded for JAD records between 1968 and 1970. While not as definitive as the Lee Perry-produced sessions they cut in the early '70s, the work on FY-AH, FY-AH is vintage Wailers, with plenty to admire in Marley's early songwriting and in the band's top-shelf performances. The group had yet to perfect the slower, deeper roots sound that would set the blueprint for reggae, but the clear influences of ska and rocksteady, Jamaican gospel, and the smooth, sweet sounds of American RB make the songs all the more interesting. As for less expected covers, you have the Archies' "Sugar Sugar," the traditional spiritual "This Train," and pretty nice American pop-influenced tunes written by JAD's Jimmy Norman and his collaborators, while emerging Rastafarianism can be heard in "Selassie Is the Chapel." Eight "versions," less essential than the fully vocalized renditions but nice for collectors to have, fill out the CDs, the last of which ends with a demo of "One Love, True Love" and a "Dub Plate special" of "How Many Times."
