Just scored this album. Second hand. Mint condition. The movie inspired me to go out and find it and find it I did.
-
Anyone know of a white label promo or test pressing of 4228462081? Came across a white label, in a VP Records sleeve. -
Great Album. I used to own the deluxe edition at one point. I actually sold it but do regret it a lot. Now I purchased and own the CD with the track 11 and 12 as the bonus tracks. Any how, just noticed until now that the track 2 "so much things to say" cuts off by ending the song without any notice. Has anyone noticed that? -
Heard this album 1000 times and I don't think i've ever heard it sound as good as it does on this pressing (STERLING A-2 / B EG). To echo lucaper, the soundstage is incredible. The bass is perfect (nice and fat like a reggae record should be but not overpowering) and the highs are nice and punchy. The pressing is fantastic and holds against any modern reissue. I give Eddy Gorecki some credit because for his work always ends up being notable.
I've gone through many older pressings and several modern day reissues and have yet to find anything that compares. The Lee Hulko
Santa Maria pressing is a nice alternative, but this is worth tracking down. -
This pressing (Sterling A-2 / B ) is the best i have ever heard, and i have had more than 10 different pressings in the last 35 years, including the ridiculous expensive MFSL version from 1995, ( which is not bad at all, but the vocals , by the I - Threes, are more clear an present on the UK 1st, and the overall sound feels more natural, with big Bass and crispy highs and great soundstage) -
My copy of this pressing is an improvement on the '77 repress https://discogs.versitio.com/Bob-Marley-The-Wailers-Exodus/release/2888171
The vocals are clearer and feel more present. -
Edited 10 years agoA classic album that contains much of Bob Marley's most familiar work. This is Bob Marley international superstar. Even with the religious/political overtones of the songs on side one, it's a fairly mainstream product; side two in particular has a pretty light message on all the tunes. "Three Little Birds" is a bit too light for me, other than that I think these are all strong tunes ("Natural Mystic" and "One Love/people Get ready" are songs that Marley had recorded before he was with Island) and the album is so much better than "Rastaman Vibration" that came before it. Junior Marvin (not to be confused by Junior Murvin of Police and Thieves fame) has replaced Al Anderson on lead guitar.
