Culture - Natty Dread Taking Over - Reggae Anthology: 8.5 (high A-)

Nice 2-disc comp. It contains the entirety of Africa Stand Alone, which I separately rate at 7.5 (high B+), and their "Peel Session" release, which I separately rate at 8 (A-). Then, mainly on the second disc, as the following track listing shows, it cherry-picks very good tracks from several later Culture releases which I don't have and you probably don't either. So, first disc is Africa Stand Alone plus key tracks from early releases most of which you probably should already have but are still nice to hear, and second disc is The Peel Sessions plus key tracks from later releases most of which you and I don't have and probably shouldn't so it's good to have them here. Of course, to make things more complicated, 4 or 5 of the tracks on Africa Stand Alone were rerecorded for Harder Than the Rest (bolded below) (not certain that "Behold" and "Behold the Land" are the same song, probably not, which only makes this compilation more helpful). Plus, it contains a bonus live DVD, so it's kind of a no-brainer.
