BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS レコード& CD

Review: This new, limited green vinyl version of Live At The Record Plant '73 captures the reggae legends Bob Marley & The Wailers in a dynamic and intimate live performance. Recorded at the famed Record Plant studio in California, the album exudes the essence of Marley's charismatic stage presence and the Wailers' tight musical prowess. The setlist features iconic tracks like 'You Can't Blame The Youth' and 'Get Up, Stand Up' all of which showcase the band's ability to merge reggae's rhythmic heartbeat with socially conscious lyrics. This live recording serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Bob Marley and immortalises a pivotal moment in reggae history.

Review: Africa Unite (named after one of his 1979 tracks) is an album that finds Bob Marley's greatest tunes all reworked in a contemporary Afrobeat style by fine modern African musicians. It's a great project that Marley himself would surely have approved of and would have no doubt been involved with had he still been around. Often times the vocals are left quite similar to the originals, but reworked into languid electronic rhythms with nice noodling synths and plenty of brass and horns. Standouts for us include 'Redemption Song' (feat Ami Faku) and 'Three Little Birds' (feat Teni & Oxlade).

Review: Bob Marley & The Wailers is one of the most globally renowned reggae acts in the world and decades after they left the scene they maintain that legendary status. This is one of the many seminal albums they put together originally back in 1971. Here it comes repressed featuring the original mono mix along with its original sleeve art. Of course, Black Ark Studio boss Lee Scratch Perry produced all the songs on the album and included amongst them are mega-hits such as 'Sun Is Shining,' 'Kaya' and 'Keep On Moving!'
