fuck the original LPs, get the 2001 CD reissue it has like 6 extended cuts, including the absolute finest version of Rastaman Chant that ever existed.. in fact, that song is one of the single driving influences of me becoming a Rastaman in my younger days.. My moms used to sing me that hymn (fly away home) often when I was a kid, and to find a new voice and a new culture to express that same warm sentiment of home, comfort and piety was so exciting.. I didn't know that there were hip, conscious and radical religious people out there until a Rasta gave me this album..
it is one of the finest albums of all time, of any genre or any artist, and one day I am sure that Bob Marley will be more a fixture of reality then Mozart..
I think what makes this album so fucking perfect is the influence of the trinity, Bob Bunny and Peter working together.. Peter had the attitude and the inspiration, Bob had the charisma and the energy, and Bunny had the spirit. The combination is literally mystical.
