Smith at Sterling SoundPressed at Quality Record Pressings using Clarity VinylPurest possible pressing and most visually stunning presentation and packagingBy the time Bob Marley died, he was one of the world039s first global superstars, famous and lauded from Europe through Africa and the Americas. Some even saw him as not just a reggae singer but as a folk hero, a sort of freedom fighter, and to this day his enduring image feels greater than the music he made, writes Pitchfork.In the 21st century, Bob Marley is a global cultural icon and the first Jamaican inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 1977039s Exodus recorded in London exile after a failed attempt on his life turned out to be Marley039s biggestselling studio album.

Powerful enough, in fact, that he was shot by gunmen who broke into his home in December 1976, days before he was to play a massive free concert intended to ease tensions days before a contentious election for Jamaican Prime Minister. In the wake of the assassination attempt, Marley and his band left Jamaica and settled in London for two years, where he recorded Exodus.Exodus represented a subtle but significant shift for Marley while he continued to speak out against political corruption and for freedom and equality for Third World people, his skill as a songwriter was as strong as ever, and Exodus boasted more than a few classics, 34including the title song, 039Three Little Birds,039 039Waiting in Vain,039 and 039Turn Your Lights Down Low,039 tunes that defined Marley039s gift for sounding laidback and incisive at once,34 writes AllMusic.This UHQR is remastered at 45 RPM by Sterling Sound039s Ryan K.
