An expanded look at the Legend - for serious collectors only,
By
This review is from: Legend (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
There is a reason that Legend is the best selling reggae album of all time - simply put, it contains 14 (now 16+) of the best tracks of the best artist of the entire genre. The music on this CD will take you to another place, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The Legend album is an essential component to any music collection.This expanded edition is great for serious Marley fans and collectors, but is not highly recommended for casual fans. The second disc is full of remixes and expanded versions that are definite treats and quite enjoyable, but not essential listening. If you are new to reggae and only want the absolute best, stick with the single disc remastered version of Legend - which is improved over the original version by adding two key bonus tracks - Easy Skanking and Punky Reggae Party (both well deserving to be included as some of Marley's best tracks) - and superior remastered sound. It's cheaper and provides the essential look at the Legend of Bob Marley. Even if you're a casual fan who is loaded and don't mind shelling out big bucks for music, I would recommend that you splurge and get the Songs of Freedom 4 CD set, which provides a more comprehensive overview of the artist's entire career than this 2 CD set. The liner notes of the expanded edition (and the single disc remastered edition) consist of a 28 page booklet containing the lyrics to the 16 tracks on the first CD. The lyrics are helpful to new fans of Marley, as his Jamaican accent can have you wondering what exactly he is singing about. One Love!

Essential,
This review is from: Legend (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
The basics :1. Remastered sound quality is excellent. 2. CD 1 : 2 additional tracks : "Easy Skanking" and "Punky Reggae Party". Worthwhile. 3. CD 1 : "Exodus" and "Stir It Up" are now the longer LP versions rather than the edited singles. Good move. 4. CD 2 : Extended remixes from 1980's 12-inch singles. generally excellent with a few duds ("Buffalo Soldiers" ala disco). Summary : A significant upgrade from an already-excellent release. A worthwhile purchase even if you already own the first CD.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! PROBLEMS with ONE LOVE on this release!,
By niels zion "niels koopman" (holland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legend (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)
This is a huge warning to all Bob Marley fans in Europe!!!!!!
There is a big mistake on this Legend Deluxe release!!! I guess someone has been sleeping / or didnt do his job well.... cause, One Love (Extended Version) and One Love (Dub) are the same! They added 2 times the extended version istead of the great very rare 1984 Dub version! This One Love Dub is missing! What a huge mistake, and a big big big big shame! Only in Europe, cause I do own the US release which does the right tracklisting! So including the One Love dub version! Thank god! Lucky me the US version is different and right! So be carefull purchasing the European EU version, with the glossy look and feel! Go for the US version with normal mat paper hardcover... which includes both One Love tracks >> Extended & DUB !!!!!! I have contacted Universal about this problem, and they will give attention to it... but it can be take for year before all these wrong cd's has been out of stock! I am sad, but the US version I will give definatly 5 stars! Just for the 1984 remixes cd 2!!!! Good Vibes
