Various Artists - Solomonic Singles, Pt. 1: Tread Along (1969-1976)

At the same time that Neville 'Bunny Wailer' Livingston recorded his debut solo long playing masterpiece, 'Blackheart Man', he was also creating a series of singles for his own Solomonic label. These records were every bit as good, at times even better, but they have never been released outside of Jamaica. Until now...; It is next to impossible to ever overstate the importance of The Wailers to the history of Jamaican music and, as the last surviving member of the group, Bunny Wailer rightly regards himself as the sole keeper of their history ever mindful of the group's exalted position in the story of reggae music and the importance of their legacy.

''I'm quite satisfied, you know, reggae music is the kind of music that although sometimes you would look at it and say...; boy, it's hard...; then again you look at what it has done for the people of the world you know that that couldn't be locked up in a little place like Jamaica!'' Bunny Wailer
