Burning Spear At Studio One

[tjkong]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't see it when I searched through the forum posts.

Can anyone compare/contrast the difference between the Soul Jazz release "Burning Spear At Studio One" and the release on Heartbeat/Studio One, "Creation Rebel: The Original Classic Recordings from Studio One"?

Just comparing the tracklists shows they have most of the same titles, although some are listed as different mixes. Each cd has a couple tracks that the other one doesn't.

If I was going to buy one of these which one should I go for, and why?

I also wonder if there is a reason that I don't see the Soul Jazz cd listed on Roots Archives?

Thanks for any opinions!

Thanks, jahganja7!

I was already leaning toward Creation Rebel when I asked, but I wondered about the Soul Jazz release. Mostly I just found it odd that they seemed so similar.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I agree the Creation Rebel set is well crucial.

But personally, I would by them both and not worry about the overlap of tracks.

"Rocking Time" is also widely available too and is another classic set.

I have all 3 and have never regretted any of the purchases.
