HERE WE ARE OFFERING FOR BOB MARLEY COLLECTORS A CHANCE TO OWN BOTH THE 1/2 SPEED MASTERED LP + THE 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION AS EITHER A COMPARISON OF THE TWO PRESSINGS OR ONE AS YOUR PLAYER AND ONE TO COLLECT.

PLUS FOR YOUR TURNTABLE - Bob Marley & The Wailers Kaya Half-Speed Mastered LP at Abbey Road Studios!

WE FIRST 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, which help beef up the sound of these already spectacular recordings. As Marley's fanbase has only grown and deepened over the years, all 12 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.
