Originally released in 1984, Bob Marleys LEGEND illustrates the remarkable life and recording career of one of reggae musics most important figures. This iconic collection not only serves as the perfect introduction to the music of Bob Marley, it has become an essential part in every Marley collection. It remains the worlds best-selling reggae album and continues to be one of the best-selling catalog albums, exceeding 15 copies in the U.S. alone and over 27 million worldwide.
Coupled with the original release of LEGEND on CD, this deluxe version features this iconic collection entirely mixed in 5.1 by the GRAMMY® Award winning producer Bob Clearmountain on Blu-Ray Pure Audio Disc™ and now includes the original, early studio version of No Woman No Cry, in lieu of the previous live version. Also featured are two, previously unheard alternate takes of Easy Skanking and Punky Reggae Party recently discovered in the Marley vault. Classic Marley anthems include Three Little Birds, Get Up Stand Up, One Love/People Get Ready, No Woman No Cry and I Shot The Sheriff, which was later a No. 1 hit for Eric Clapton, as well as Jamming, Exodus, Redemption Song and Is This Love.
The classic Marley album, the one that any fair-weather reggae fan owns, Legend contains 14 of his greatest songs, running the gamut from "I Shot the Sheriff" to the meditative "Redemption Song" and the irrepressible "Three Little Birds." Some may argue that the compilation shortchanges his groundbreaking early ska work or his status as a political commentator, but this isnt meant to be definitive, its meant to be an introduction, sampling the very best of his work. And it does that remarkably well, offering all of his genre-defying greats and an illustration of his excellence, warmth, and humanity. In a way, it is perfect since it gives a doubter or casual fan anything they could want. Lets face it, the beauty and simplicity of Marleys music was as important as his message, and thats captured particularly well here. --Stephen Thomas Erlewine
