This was originally released in August 1971 with the title The Best of the Wailers on Beverley’s Records – but it is not a greatest hits album. It was recorded in 1970 with Leslie Kong and has been reissued many times with many different labels. Here it is called Shakedown on the cover and Shake Down on the labels.

This was the fourth studio album by the Wailers.

ALA was a label co-founded by Lou Drozen in LA, who also founded Laff records. The credit here says it is “leased to ALA Records & Tapes by San Juan Record & Tape Club LTD” – which is a Michael Chernow company that does license a lot of back catalog recordings including Marley.

My copy via Academy Records in NYC doesn’t carry a date of release but seems to be from 1979.
