Grooving Kingston 12 is a 3 disc box set of Bob Marley And The Wailers material from the 1967-1972 period released by Universal Records in 2004. An update of the Complete Wailers series along with Fy-Ah Fy-Ah and "Man To Man", it contains remastered versions of almost everything released during that period. These compilations were released to put an end to bootlegging and provide royalties to surviving artists and their families, and also to provide the complete discography without buying several separate CDs.

Kingston 12 in the title is in reference to the numbered postal zones established by the national post office of Jamaica. Trench Town, the home of Bob Marley and The Wailer’s musical roots, is serviced under the aforementioned postal zone name. ‘Grooving Kingston 12’ is lyrics from the song Trench Town Rock.
