Five HUGE stars for this spectacular CD.
I first got into Bob Marley in 1984 when I bought "Legend" on cassette (remember those...lol).
I wore out 2 copies within a year.
When I finally got a CD player, one of the 1st CD's I purchased was "Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers".
Unfortunatly it didn't contain some versions of some of the songs I first heard & loved, including MY favorite version of "Buffalo Soldier".
I looked for YEARS for these versions, & always came up empty.
When I found this gem I immediately bought it, & have been playing it, & downloaded it into my iPod.
This is one of the best CD's of all time IMO.
It contains ALL of the remixed versions from the original US copy of "Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers".
Those are : "Buffalo Soldier", "Jamming", "Waiting In Vain", & "Exodus".
The rest of this CD (along with the regular CD version of "Legend:Bob Marley & Wailers"), is the best way for 1st time listeners of Bob Marley, to love his music as the rest of us who already know what a genius this man was.
A great CD at a great price.
A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION!

30 years since his passing, yet Bob's music still soothes the soul. I already have a lot of his music. This is a very welcomed addition to my collection.

I am not a fan of reggae music, but I appreciate Bob Marley's music. The way he addressed social issues through his music is timeless as is his music. He is a true legend. This CD is a must have in every Bob Marley fan's collection.
