Catch a Fire, the Wailers' first output on the Western market was released in April 1973, and this BBC recording from May was the band's first major radio exposure in the UK. This was an incredible show based on a strong tracklist including several immortal pieces from the early Wailers' repertoire: "Concrete Jungle," "Slave Driver," "Midnight Ravers" and "Get up Stand Up." just to name a few. Needless to add that this was the original line-up of: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, plus Earl 'Wya' Lindo on keyboards and the super tight one-drop riddims of Aston and Carlton Barrett respectively on bass and drums.

Reissue, originally released in 1970. Easily one of the greatest roots reggae albums of all time, Soul Rebels resulted from the intensive partnership brokered by the group and maverick producer, Lee "Scratch" Perry. It was the first Wailers "concept" album, conceived as a long-player based on a rebellious theme, rather than a collection of isolated singles, and the presence of the Barrett brothers in the rhythm section pointed the way for greater glories to come. The Wailers first formed as an unruly five-piece in 1963, with Junior Braithwaite as lead singer and Beverley Kelso an early member, sometimes replaced by Cherry Green. During their long tenure at Studio One, Bob Marley gradually shifted to the lead vocal role and the robust core of Marley, Peter Tosh, and Neville Livingston, aka Bunny Wailer, soon emerged as the mainstays of the group. Perry was involved with the Wailers at Studio One, using their talents for backing vocals on some of his solo work, but the partnership that yielded Soul Rebels was in an entirely different league. The title track, Tosh's anguished "400 Years and "Corner Stone" are legendary for their intense power; "It's Alright" set the template for the later "Night Shift," "My Cup" was an individual barebones reading of James Brown's "I Guess I'll Have To Cry Cry Cry," while the playful "Try Me" and "No Water" are suggestive odes. Tosh's dejected "No Sympathy" and the spirited "Soul Almighty" are other winners and the "Cloud 9" revamp "Rebel's Hop" is another joy. All killer, no filler.

Bob Marley & The Wailers are the most legendary figures to emerge from Jamaican popular music, a trio of icons that brough reggae to the broader public consciousness and helped the Rastafari faith to spread outside of their native island. Robert Nesta Marley, Peter McIntosh, and Neville O'Riley Livingston, AKA Bunny Wailer, are responsible for the understanding of reggae music itself, as well as the now-global movement of Rastafari consciousness and the general popular culture of Jamaica in a way unlike that of any of their peers. This retrospective on their '70s production, packed in a collectable double-vinyl set, provide a tantalizing glimpse of the international stardom that would soon be achieved by the group, charting some particularly fertile and evolutionary phases of their formative years. Comes with extensive liner notes by David Katz. Licensed by San Juan Music.

Double LP version. A superbly crafted Bob Marley set, compiled and annotated by French journalist Vincent Tarrière, chronicles the story behind this legendary article "The Wild Side of Paradise" published by Rolling Stone Magazine in 1973. Features a handpicked selection of Bob Marley's best songs, recorded at his creative peak, during the late '60s and early '70s, when he was working with producers Bunny Lee, Leslie Kong, and Lee Perry. 1973 was a turning point for Jamaican music. Perry Henzell's highly-acclaimed film The Harder They Come had come out the year before and Bob Marley had just signed with Island Records and was about to take the world by storm. In July 1973, Rolling Stone Magazine published "The Wild Side of Paradise", a major story about Jamaica and its vibrant musical scene written by Michael Thomas with striking photos by Arthur Gorson. The pair had travelled to the island to soak up the atmosphere and immerse themselves in the local music scene. There they met a 28 year old Marley who was about to tour Europe. "The Wild Side of Paradise" was a bold move for the magazine. Jamaican music was essentially unknown in the western world up to that point. "Revolution was in the air and, ten years into independence, Jamaica was on fire," remembers Gorson. Through connections with Island Records' Chris Blackwell, Thomas and Gorson managed to spend time with Marley and a series of iconic photos of the artist was taken by Gorson, one of which is on the cover of this album. "Wild Side" was the first major feature focusing on Jamaican music and would help put reggae on the international map. The article was also the seed of Thomas's book Babylon On A Thin Wire in collaboration with Adrian Boot (1976). In 1973, Bob Marley was indeed no newcomer on the Jamaican scene. He'd been active since the early '60s and had recorded some of his most creative output accompanied by his group, The Wailers. The music is fresh and undiluted, catchy and inspired, and shows Marley's genius at crafting beautiful melodies. The set features several of his early classics such as "Duppy Conqueror" and "Caution", as well as lesser-known gems such as "Wisdom" and "Long Long Winter", and songs that would find a second life on his Island albums, such as "Trench Town Rock" or "Concrete Jungle".

2011 release. Marking the 30th anniversary of Bob Marley's death in May 1981, 30 Years Ago collects highlights from Marley's pre-Island Records recordings. Bob Marley had already established himself as the leading voice of reggae music before his signing to Island Records in 1972 and his rise to international super-stardom. This is evident from these 20 gems from his earlier recordings made with The Wailers, which many reggae authorities consider to be his finest and purest work. Very much roots-based, they are in marked contrast to Marley's later ones for Island, where his sound was tailored towards the lucrative rock market. These remarkable recordings from the late '60s and early '70s remain as testament to Marley's genius as both a songwriter and a singer. Comprising in the main of titles from his sessions with famed producer Lee Perry, the set features several titles which Marley was successfully to return to in later years, such as "Trenchtown Rock", "Lively Up Yourself", and "Natural Mystic". The set also contains several sought-after titles and versions as well as his original recording of "Concrete Jungle", a highlight of his Catch A Fire debut album for Island (1973).

Doxy present a picture disc reissue of Bob Marley and The Wailers' Soul Revolution Part II, originally released in Jamaica in 1971 and produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Soul Revolution Part II is a sequel of sorts to Bob Marley And The Wailers' debut LP, 1970's Soul Rebel. The Wailers' work with Scratch is considered by many reggae fans to mark career pinnacles for all involved, and classic hymns like "Don't Rock My Boat" or the re-visitation of Curtis Mayfield's "Keep On Moving" were destined to become among the more widely hailed efforts in the repertoire of Bob Marley. A historical milestone in early reggae history, pressed in a beautiful limited edition picture disc; Includes two bonus tracks.
