About this album

This is incorrectly tagged, Legend is an album by Bob Marley & The Wailers…
Legend is a greatest hits collection of Bob Marley and the Wailers songs, released by Island records on May 8, 1984 (see 1984 in music). It is the best selling reggae album of all time. The original compilation, first issued on LP, contains 14 songs in their edited single format. Later it was released on CD with the same listing. It includes 10 of Marley’s 11 top 40 UK hits at the time, plus three songs from the early configuration of the Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston (“Stir It Up”, “I Shot the Sheriff” and “Get Up, Stand Up”), and the last song released on Marley’s final non-posthumous album Uprising, the fan-favorite “Redemption Song”.

The second CD version, remastered by Barry Diament, appeared in 1990 on the Tuff Gong label. Although the disc includes the same 14 songs, the tracks are their original album versions, e.g. “Exodus” and “No Woman No Cry” are over 7 minutes long.

A cassette release of the album featured two extra songs, “Punky Reggae Party” (the 11th top 40 hit), and “Easy Skanking”, from the Kaya LP. These two songs were later included on both the 2002 second reissue of Legend and its two-disc Deluxe Edition counterpart.

It is the best-selling reggae record of all time.

    This is pretty much the only Bob Marley album you will ever need. I tried some of his other albums and they just don't even compare this masterpiece!
