Legend: The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers [Picture Disc]
While Bob Marley’s catalogue is full of songs, many not featured on this release, that are worthy of inclusion on a best of compilation, Legend: The Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers is true to its namesake as this masterful collection showcases Marley's immense talent as a songwriter and performer, as well as his revolutionary message of love, unity, and social justice. It’s also accurate to say that Legend is one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of reggae music as each track is a classic of the genre in its own right.
Originally released in 1984, various editions of this compilation have been released with varied track listings across different versions. However, since 2002, the core reissues have remained largely the same, beside Legend: Remixed from 2013, so unless you’re a completist that is after each release of a particular album, you’ll experience the same cohesive edition that most of us have come to love regardless of which version you decide to listen to.
