Buyer beware: this collection is a classic rip-off of the sort seen all too often in the reggae marketplace. Its tracks are all taken from three previously released Prince Far I albums (Free From Sin, Jamaican Heroes, and Musical History), though the compilers disguised this fact by sneakily renaming all of the songs: "Call On I in Trouble" is here titled "Give Thanks and Praise," "Deck of Life" is listed as "Ten Commandments." The liner notes give no indication of the material's provenance, and no details about the recordings, beyond noting that the rhythms were provided by the Soul Syndicate and Roots Radics bands. Worst of all, on this album "Cool Me Cool" (aka "Musical History") is drastically and clumsily edited down to two minutes in length, and "I and I Are the Chosen One" is presented twice in sequence, once as "Falling Wall," and once as "Never Defeated." So the compilers were not only dishonest, they were also sloppy to the point of stupidity. Although the songs themselves are very good, and the original albums hard to find, this album dishonors the memory of Prince Far I and cannot be recommended.
