i'm with both gpalmer and rosstaman. IMO, the recent reissues noted by rosstaman are superior to any other cd's of bob marley's albums (since my older son is a radio consultant, i have em' all in promo packaging). i like "legend" but, like gpalmer, prefer the original versions; i hope that album is reissued in the new seies, as well. FWIW, the german vinyl pressings of bob marley are the best i've ever heard. -cfb
Bob Marley...Legend vs. New Album....
Category: Music
There's a new Bob Marley album out...apparently that has replaced Legend. I found out about this when my friend lost my Legend album and replaced it with the new one. I listened to the new album and, although nearly all the Legend songs are there, I just didn't like it so much. The most obvious, unforgivable sin on the album was to replace the old acoustic version of Redemption Song with a Reggae version. Other than that, I can't put my finger on why I like the old album so much better...better recording...better picture of Bob on the cover....anyone else feel the same or to the contrary?
