Right now I'm listening to this Heartbeat compilation of early pre-dread Bob Marley/Wailers cuts ('64-'66), and as God is my witness, I keep hitting clicking the "repeat" button on "Go Jimmy Go" and "Teenager In Love"..."Jimmy" is this insanely corny 1950's pop-rock song by New Orleans teen idol Jimmy Clanton, "Teenager" is the enduring doo-wop classic by Dion & the Belmonts, and neither song, on paper, seems like the type of thing you'd associate with Marley & co., but holy shit they're tearing these songs up. Marley didn't even bother to doctor the title from "Go Jimmy" to "Go Bobby" or something (although he changes "I told her when it comes to dancing" to "...when it comes to SKA"). And he keeps repeating the same verse over & over! (On "Teenager" they just rewrite the whole thing altogether, keeping only the chorus.) I'm not ripping these to the iTunes, 'cause I don't know how these songs will hold up over the long run, but as of midday Friday, these weird oldies-but-goodies tributes from Jamaica are killing it. I can even hear Marley's "Teenager" as a fluke US hit (back then, of course, but it's obviously too late now).

Think it didn't when it did?
Seems to be an undocumented Axelrod production.
Anybody else know anything, or heard this record?
