The Fabulous Wailers - Original Golden Crest Masters (1998)

The Wailers were originally very much a product of the 1950s, although their career lasted well into the following decade. Formed in the north-west corner of America in 1958, they spent 18 hectic months learning the basics of their trade, scrambled a recording contract with New York label Golden Crest, and by May 1959 had scored a Top 40 hit with Tall Cool One. This 20 track collection presents the very best of The Fabulous Wailers early recordings for Golden Crest.
