5.0 out of 5 stars Better configuration of this music available, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rastaman Vibration [Deluxe Edition w/ Bonus Tracks] (Audio CD)

The music here is, of course, essential; but, as the entire Roxy concert is now available as a 2 CD set, one might prefer to get that and the 1-disc version of "Rastaman Vibration" rather than this set.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reggae Album to Skyrocket Through the Charts, February 19, 2005

In 1976, Bob Marley & the Wailers released "Rastaman Vibration". This album would be the album that would finally push, and forever keep reggae in the mainstream of music in the U.S.

The album is laden with hits, from the joyous "Positive Vibration," and the danceable "Roots, Rock, Reggae," to the enigmatic and powerful "Crazy Baldhead," and the anti-racism statement "War". Each song is a Marley classic and an essential to any collection. The alternate mixes and the rare bonus track, "Jah Live" are all amazing. The second disc, contains a concert from the U.S. "Rastaman Vibration" tour at the Roxy in Hollywood in May. The second disc also includes two bonus tracks, the delightful "Smile Jamaica," and a remix of it, both recorded after the sessions for the main album.

This album is sure to delight any listener and is crucial to every Marley or reggae collection. Pick this up and you'll be listening to it non-stop for weeks on end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rastaman Vibration (Deluxe Edition), December 30, 2002

By 

Raymund Delizo (CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rastaman Vibration [Deluxe Edition w/ Bonus Tracks] (Audio CD)

Remastered tracks and rarities aside, the real treasure in this deluxe remastered two-disc set of Bob Marley's landmark breakthrough is the inclusion of the often bootlegged 1976 concert Bob Marley and The Wailers held at The Roxy in Los Angeles.

While "Live!" and "Babylon By Bus" are recorded proof of Bob's magnetic live shows, this performance at The Roxy captured in ten songs is by far the best sounding and most explosive Bob has ever sounded. Hearing "Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock)" followed by "I Shot The Sheriff" is nothing short of a spirtual experience.

But make no mistake about it, "Rastaman" as an album stands triumphantly on its own merits, but the inclusion of Bob's 1976 Roxy show makes this reissue a must for anyone who calls themselves a Bob Marley or reggae fan.
