CD Description
Out on his own following the defection of Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh, this album saw Marley utilising the talents of the I-Threes for the first time. There was still a nod to hispast in the inclusion of a cover version of a Wailers tune,"Lively Up Yourself", but elsewhere he revelled in his new found freedom, on "Revolution" and most particularly, "No Woman, No Cry", which has practically become a Jamaican national anthem since its release. If that song had an instantly universal appeal, Rasta themes were also brilliantly conveyedvia "Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)" and "Rebel Music (Three O'Clock Roadblock)". Marley had announced himself as one of the greats of modern music.

Worth update
Re-mastered release from THE artist to play every single summer, all day long. Great album, featuring some of The Wailers' best work (but then, which of their albums don't?). If you ignore the version of No Woman No Cry (after you've heard the live version, nothing else comes close), this is a perfect album, the bonus track just adds to the whole affair.

One minor quibble
Tacking "Am-A-Do" from the sessions onto the end of the original album rather dilutes the original vision. When first released as an LP, Side One ended with "Rebel Music (Three O'Clock Roadblock)" and the entire LP ended with "Revolution", thus creating a logical ending for a rebellious album.

That apart, the departure of Bunny and Peter had been predicted to reduce Marley's effectiveness, yet this album showed his ability to move forward, while remaining in touch with the cutting edge of Jamaican music. "Talking Blues" was of course versioned by I.Roy, and "So Jah Seh" was the first JA record to feature embryonic drum synthesiser The Rhythm King (purchased by the Barrett Brothers). The new bassline improved "Lively Up Yourself", and the band made full use of their studio time to develop a new sound and style.

While still arguably not Marley's finest hour, it remains the most consistently satisfying of his Island albums
