MARLEY, Bob & THE WAILERS - Rastaman Vibration (reissue) - Vinyl (2xLP)

When Rastaman Vibration was first released in America in 1976 it did what some in the music industry considered nearly impossible at the time. It took Bob Marley into the Top Ten alongside disco records and corporate rock, points out Rolling Stone, which rates the album 4 stars.\n\nDespite the good cheer of the title track and the upbeat \""Roots, Rock, Reggae,\"" Rastaman Vibration contains some of Marley's most intense images of oppression, paranoia and despair. Tracks such as \""Who the Cap Fit,\"" \""Crazy Baldhead\"" and \""War\"" are offered by the Wailers with dire urgency as Marley's brutal visions are echoed by his own church choir, the I-Threes. More than four decades later, neither Marley's music nor his message has lost its sting.\n\nNow, Analogue Productions presents perfection \u2014 Rastaman Vibration cut at 45 RPM in UHQR format on 180-gram 2LP Clarity Vinyl. This Ultra High Quality Record release will be limited to 4,500 copies, with gold foil individually numbered jackets.\e
