Smith at Sterling Sound from the original master tapeTwo 45 RPM LPs pressed on 180gram vinyl at Quality Record PressingsDeluxe OldStyle TipOn Stoughton Printing gatefold jacketKaya, released in 1978, was the tenth studio album by the Jamaican band Bob Marley amp The Wailers, comprising tracks recorded alongside those released on the Exodus album. On Kaya, the band continued what has become an unspoken tradition in the evolution of Bob Marley amp The Wailers discography blending western sounds and motifs with the icons and traditions from the very core of Jamaican society.Released in 1978, Kaya wasn039t necessarily made with American tastes in mind, but it was an album that presented a more accessible version of Bob Marley. Lyrically, the songs avoided the political commentary or Rastafarian philosophizing that was at the forefront of Natty Dread and Rastaman Vibration, and instead emphasized tunes about love and ganga, such as Easy Skanking and the title cut. And the palpable musical tension that simmered beneath the surface on the Wailers039 earlier material gave way to a more laidback riddim that was more comfortable but a bit less demanding. Kaya presented a gentler and friendlier version of Bob Marley amp the Wailers, but it also documented Marley and his group at the peak of their abilities.Likewise, Kaya could also be easily construed as an open love letter or musical paean to the lifestyle that Marley so eagerly embraced and promoted. Evidence that the spirituality that permeates the Wailers music is real and not lip service.Now, Analogue Productions presents Kaya in sonic perfection featured on 180gram vinyl pressed at 45 RPM at Quality Record Pressings. Housed in a deluxe Old Style TipOn Jacket from Stoughton Printing.
Heavyweight vinyl is pressed on thicker, denser material—typically weighing 180 grams or more. This added weight offers improved durability, reduced warping, and is often believed to provide better sound quality due to more stable playback. Many audiophile releases, reissues, and deluxe editions are pressed on heavyweight vinyl, making it a popular choice among collectors and music enthusiasts who value both performance and longevity. While it doesn’t automatically guarantee superior audio, its solid, premium feel and association with high-quality production standards have made it a trusted format for serious vinyl fans.
Vinyl records are a timeless format that continues to captivate music lovers with their warm, analogue sound. Unlike digital formats, vinyl offers a rich, textured listening experience that many argue feels more authentic and immersive. With their larger artwork and tangible presence, records bring a sense of nostalgia and artistry to any music collection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of vinyl, records have a unique ability to connect listeners to music on a deeper level. Their physical grooves and the ritual of placing a needle on a spinning disc create a tactile and engaging experience. From classic albums to modern releases, vinyl remains a cherished way to enjoy music.
