Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus

Exodus was recorded in London in 1977, after Bob Marley left Jamaica in the wake of the 1976 attempt on his life. Out of that upheaval came one of the most celebrated albums in popular music, a record that balances defiance and spiritual purpose with some of the warmest love songs Marley ever wrote.

The first side is serious and searching, moving from "Natural Mystic" through "So Much Things To Say," "Guiltiness" and "The Heathen" to the driving, extended title track. The second side opens up into pure joy: "Jamming," "Waiting In Vain," "Turn Your Lights Down Low," "Three Little Birds" and the closing "One Love / People Get Ready" became standards the world over.

Its reputation has only grown with time, and it is widely regarded as Marley's masterpiece and one of the defining albums of the 20th century.

This edition presents the album on 180-gram vinyl from the Tuff Gong / Island remastered reissue series.
