Bob Marley & the Wailers recorded with producer/auteur Lee “Scratch” Perry from August 1970 until April 1971, a time during which the Wailers’ mature sound was born, thanks in no small part to Perry, who trimmed away any rhythmic excess while insisting the Wailers deliver songs that were sharpened and focused, and it is no accident that the first of Marley’s many masterpieces began appearing at this time. There are countless editions of these sessions with Perry on the market, and this one at least has liner notes, although unfortunately they aren’t particularly accurate, stating that these recordings were made at Perry’s famed Black Ark Studio when they were in fact mostly recorded at Randy’s (Black Ark wasn’t fully operational Read the rest of this entry »

I could write an elaborate review on how Sir Coxsone Dodd and Studio 1 is great, but id rather just tell you to buy this album and see the proof in itself. Classic dub bizzness in the place. You wont be dissapointed!

ps, i believe Sylvan Morris is also credited for the production of this album.

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 isn’t meant to be definitive, it’s 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 Read the rest of this entry »

I have listened to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of albums over the past four decades, and this one ranks in my top 25. Almost every cut is great, and several are just superb! They range from haunting to hard-driving, and the technical quality of the production is unsurpassed; the better your sound system, the more you’ll enjoy it! I have listened to this album at least 15 times now, and I never grow tired of it. I give this my highest recommendation!
