Bob Marley Exodus

Universal Music Enterprises is teaming with the estate of Bob Marley through the whole month of June to release four new digital titles in honor of the 45th anniversary of Exodus, one of his many acclaimed albums with The Wailers.

"Jamming," "Waiting in

Bob Marley Capitol Session

1973 was a landmark year for Bob Marley.  His band, The Wailers, released their sixth studio album in October to critical acclaim and commercial success.  Burnin' earned a Gold sales certification in the U.S. and eventually an induction into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.  The album introduced "Get Up, Stand Up" as well as the future Eric Clapton hit "I Shot the Sheriff."  But Marley and The Wailers weren't resting on their laurels around the time of the album's release.

Five years from its original vinyl release in 2015, a CD edition of The Complete Island Recordings
