Â Thumb through enough Bob Marley & the Wailers compilations and you can be
forgiven for wondering if after a while the selectors were just drawing song
titles out of a hat, or perhaps throwing them up in the air, and whatever landed
on the desk made it onto the set. Reggae Fever, Vol. 1 is yet another in a
myriad of releases drawn from the late 60s/early 70s, when the Wailers bounced
around the studios, biding their time and still dreaming of stardom abroad. Take
away the Leslie Kong-produced Soul Captives (mistitled Soul Captive on the set),
and the compilation would fall into an even more notorious pile, those dedicated
exclusively to Lee Perry productions, which at this point must be nearing two
stories in height. Perhaps theyre saving the big hits for Vol. 2, but you do get
such favorites as Soul Rebel, Put It On, Sun Is Shining, African Herbsman,
Rainbow Country, and Peter Toshs cultural killer 400 Years. Of course, all of
the Perry material is strong, but are there enough faves here for the fans?
Probably not -- there are better roundups of this era available, all stuffing in
a lot more than a dozen tracks, so this ones not going to make anyone that
feverish.

Â One did wonder if they were holding back the big hits for Reggae Fever, Vol.
2, and indeed they were. So here they are -- Kaya, Duppy Conqueror, Small Axe,
Soul Shakedown Party, and the exuberant Trench Town Rock among them. Like its
predecessor, this compilation again draws from Bob Marley & the Wailers
in-between years, after they had departed Studio One but before they signed to
Island. This period has been not merely well served by compilers but repackaged
just about to death, with the recordings done with producer Lee Perry tossed
onto so many sets that it now defies belief. Vol. 1s 12 tracks included 11 Perry
productions; Vol. 2 features another nine, with the aforementioned Party, Stop
the Train, and Chances Are the exceptions, the former overseen by Leslie Kong,
the latter pair by Johnny Nash and Danny Sims. Theres a group of great songs
here, but then again theyre everywhere, and inevitably some of your faves are on
the first set, so youll need to buy both. Or better yet, go grab a less
parsimonious collection that contains them all.
