The Best of the Wailers is the fourth studio album by the Wailers, released in August 1971. Despite its title, it is not a compilation album. The album was recorded in May 1970 (prior to the band's involvement with Lee Perry) but not released until August 1971. Over the years, the album was released and re-released under many titles, including Shakedown (or Shake Dowm), Soul Captives, Cheer Up, Roots I, Reggae!, In The Beginning... and more. The album was produced by Leslie Kong, who died of a heart attack at the age of 37, a week after the album was released.
