Description

 STARTING THIS BOB MARLEY SET WE celebrate what would 

have been Bob Marley's 75th birthday last year, Island Records 

reissued the albums that the reggae legend released with the 

British label from 1973 to his death in 1983, with the addition of 

Legend, the greatest hits compilation that is one of the best 

selling 

albums of all time. And these fresh pressings were cut using half-

speed mastering techniques WITH VERIFIED MARKETING 


STRIP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF EACH TITLE, which help beef up 

the sound of these already spectacular recordings. As Marley's 

fanbase has only grown and deepened over the years, all albums 

sold out online quickly. But if you have an abiding interest in his 

work and want to hear it with clarity and intensity, you'd do well to 

hit your local shop or online resellers to find these. The sound of 

Marley and his crack backing band, which included Peter Tosh 

and Bunny Wailer in its earliest incarnation, is bulbous and thick 

on these reissues. The basswork of Aston 'Family Man' Barrett is 

given room to rumble, and the balance of elements, particularly 

the interplay between Marley and backing vocalists the I-Threes, 

is well-preserved. With the centenary of Marley's birth right around 

the corner, this won't be the last time Island finds a way to 

repackage and resell his work. But I'm skeptical that those future 

reissues will sound as good as these.

Vinyl LP Half-Speed Mastered at Abbey Road Studios!

Prophetically, it also contains some of the band's finest crafted material, as if they were cognizant that this would be their final outing. The album's blend of religious and secular themes likewise creates a very powerful and singular quest for spirituality in a material world.

New Unreleased Performances on 180g Vinyl Double LP!

Bob Marley & The Wailers: Easy Skanking In Boston ’78, features two historic live shows from Boston’s Music Hall on June 8, 1978. This new and unreleased performance is from the Marley family giving unprecedented access for the first time to their personal material from their private collections and their vaults.

Highlights of the performance include a lively “Jammin’” and “The Heathen,” a song Marley and the band didn’t perform during the second set. The show features them at their most comfortable, truly enjoying themselves in the spotlight, basking in the appreciation of the audience.

Marley, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is notable not only as the man who put reggae on the global map, but, as a statesman in his native Jamaica, he famously brought together the country’s warring factions — symbolized by rival politicians Michael Manley and Edward Siega joining hands on-stage — during his legendary “One Love Peace Concert” in Kingston, which took place on April 22, 1978, less than six weeks before this Music Hall performance in Boston. 

It was two years since Marley and the band arrived from Jamaica, with the 1977 release of Exodus recorded in London just after an assassination attempt on his life, turned into not just a socio-political statement, but one which included such hits as the title track, “Waiting In Vain” and “One Love,” paving the way for their next release Kaya and a world tour in ’78. Together with his music’s theme of liberation, Marley’s own rags-to-riches story brought inspiration to subjugated people around the world, where he was revered as a larger-than-life leader.

 -Bob Marley & The Wailers Rasta Revolution - 180 GRAM EUROPEAN ISSUE

While Rasta Revolution contains the duplicate cuts "400 Years" and "Duppy Conqueror" from African Herbsman and is from roughly the same early-'70s period, there is a distinctly mellow feel to the record. Souful and subdued bass-led roots tracks are the foundation here, as exemplified by the pulsing "Try Me" and the playful yet stinging "Rebel's Hop." Produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry, Rasta Revolution contains some tracks that rank among the best music Bob Marley & the Wailers were to produce. Most notable is the stirring "Soul Rebel," which features a beautiful blending of Marley's plaintive singing accompanied by the Wailers' tight backing harmonies. Also excellent are "Reaction," the very danceable "It's Alright," and of course, the almost psychedelic "Mr. Brown." While not quite as consistent as African Herbsman and Catch a Fire, Rasta Revolution captures Bob Marley & the Wailers at their peak. - All Music Guide

LASTLY WE HAVE - THE BEST OF BOB MARLEY LIMITED IMPORT LP - Robert Nesta Marley OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter, and musician. Considered one of the pioneers of reggae, his musical career was marked by fusing elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady, as well as his distinctive vocal and songwriting style.[2][3] Marley's contributions to music increased the visibility of Jamaican music worldwide, and made him a global figure in popular culture for over a decade.[4][5] Over the course of his career, Marley became known as a Rastafari icon, and he infused his music with a sense of spirituality.[6] He is also considered a global symbol of Jamaican music and culture and identity, and was controversial in his outspoken support for democratic social reforms. In 1976, Marley survived an assassination attempt in his home, which was thought to be politically motivated.[7] He also supported legalization of marijuana, and advocated for Pan-Africanism.
