BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS - Legend: Jamaican Reissue (Vinyl LP)
Numbered and Pressed Exclusively at the Legendary Tuff Gong International Headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica; Mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles
The Marley Family, Tuff Gong, and UMe commemorate Bob Marley's 78th birthday with the release of twelve Bob Marley vinyl LPs, each numbered and pressed exclusively at the legendary Tuff Gong International headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica, featuring nine original studio albums and two original live albums, plus the world's best-selling reggae album, Legend, all including a highly-desirable Tuff Gong stamp. The albums were pressed at Tuff Gong's newly refurbished vinyl pressing plant, which re-opened in the summer of 2020 and has an annual capacity of 250,000 units. Each album was mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters in Los Angeles.
First released in May 1984, Legend is the bestselling reggae album of all time, and one of the most successful compilations in any genre, with worldwide sales of a staggering 28 million. The 14 songs that comprise the retrospective are genre-defining landmarks, on a collection crammed with instantly recognizable gems such as "Get Up Stand Up," "One Love/People Get Ready," "I Shot The Sheriff," "Three Little Birds," "Jammin" and "Exodus." Other anthemic hits from the album including "No Woman No Cry" and "Is This Love" feature the backing vocals of the I Threes, the female trio that comprised Marley's wife Rita, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths. Numbered and pressed exclusively at the legendary Tuff Gong International headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica.
