The Negative Reviews are Mostly Correct

This vinyl pressing, while the sound is very good is WAYYYY too low in volume as others have stated. Also the center hole is too small, but once I pressed it down onto the spindle and played both sides, the record now goes onto the spindle easier. I can only imagine this will improve over time. However, I will likely be searching out an original pressing in order to get the correct sound and volume level. It's too bad Legend has jumped on the vinyl resurgence bandwagon obviously to makes some quick $, without giving any attention to quality detail, especially for a legend like Bob Marley.

Badly pressed, it sounds really bad.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019

Badly pressed. Seriously, it is not good. The sound is not good, you can hear it more on the left side than the right, even of you adjust the balance in your turntable. I've been listening this album since I was a child, cd and digital so buying it on vinyl and listen to it this badly, it just stinks. Physically there's nothing wrong at least not to the naked eye but this was a major disappointment.

Great job!!!

Item arrived in great condition and sounds splendid--- I was a little worried given some reviews claiming the LP's were misshaped, but mine were fine! Definitely go for this variant over the single LP edition-- sound quality is so much better and louder volume wise.

*** Update***-- Well, I may have spoke too soon as I noticed this noticeable ding in the second disc of the LP set-- pics attached. Almost looks like someone's dog chewed it up. Shrug. It still sounds fine but come on, that's definitely not what you want to see out of a new LP set.

That being said, talked with Amazon and they took care of me for the issues with this set.

Love at first spin.

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017

I can tell you that by age 40, I may have listened to this album more times than any other album in my entire collection. That's saying a lot when my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses and Metallica. I've had it in cassette, CD, MP3 and FLAC files.

I'm not an audiophile, but I can tell you that I heard sounds that I hadn't heard before with this LP.

I am officially in love with it.

Long live Bob.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

I bought this vinyl based on reviews. I also liked the colored vinyl and thought it looked cool based on pictures plus I’m a big fan. I ended up getting the black vinyl instead, but I love Bob Marley and it’s about the music . When I put it on the player, I could tell as soon as it started spinning that it was warped. I recently bought other vinyls and they didn’t look like this when spinning. The first song was fine until I got to the second song and it started skipping very badly. Had to stop playing it and will be returning it.

Cheap, low quality vinyl pressing..

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is cheap and sounds cheap. Had to return it. My copy sounded like a digital transfer. Cold tone. It probably didn't help that the right channel volume was over 50% quieter than the left. I call that outright defective. This is an example of a mass produced modern pressing that completely lacks quality control. I will be looking into the 2 LP anniversary variation. Should sound much better.

Vinyl shape is not true, barely affects sound, but negatively so.

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017

VINYL ONLY: Unfortunately I should have listened to the negative reviews. So, album is a classic. Indisputable. The vinyl I received, at an attractive price that should have told me more than I allowed, was 180 gram and felt right, but is oddly shaped. The landing space for placing your needle is wider at one side of the album than the other... This was first noticed when using my auto drop on my Technics 1350, which landed and skidded into the first song. It took me a while to discern if my turntable was needing a landing adjustment and then if this was merely an optical illusion, but NO. This pressing has extra vinyl pushed out to one side, the album spins strangely when looking down from top with the bare landing space growing super wide, then narrow. The label has a similar oblongish tilt to it as well. Nevertheless, the album played true and my stylus / arm tracks true from an above visual inspection amid the wobble indicated by the clearly untrue circumference. There was nothing noticeable in play, album sounded just fine... until it hits the most interior tracks when there is mild tone confusion... as if the turntable's timing is barely untrue. All said, given other bad reviews about warp, etc, I suspect that is why 180 gram was so discounted. Purchased 6/25/17.

This is not about the artist or music

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am a little disappointed. I bought this album for my husband. I received a stack of albums after my dad died, of all of his old albums from when I was growing up and before I was born. I bought a record player for them, and I bought this one for my husband, because he loves Bob Marley and he did not have an album. I was very disappointed in the quality of this album. The ones that I have from the 60's and 70's sounded better then the brand new one. I think they have forgotten how to make the record sound good. I do not think it is recorded the same on the album today as they were back in the day.

Zero for the vinyl - 5 for the music

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

I’m not reviewing the music. Everybody knows the album and it’s Bob Marley no need for introductions. The vinyl is awful. Sound is distorted and extremely quite. Same quality from 2 replacements I received from Amazon. By the way I am playing this on a project carbon. Project preamp and denon receiver so it’s not my system. It’s at least 10-15db lower than a
normal record and if you try to raise the volume the woofers go crazy with a distorted sound. In my opinion Amazon sould remove the product from the store.

Terrible sound quality. May as well cover the vinyl in breadcrumbs and play it. So quiet you need sonar to detect it. Waste of money

Poor packaging + side 2 BRA not live version, as CD.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

As soon as I opened the booklet, the insert containing the discs and notes fell out as the staples were not strongly enough fixed to keep it in - bad design? Also, on the BR Audio disc, No Woman No Cry is the dull and 'lifeless' studio version, the CD does have the live version though, but you shouldn't have to change to the CD to hear the better version. Otherwise, the album is fantastic in 5.1. For info, I bought the original BD Audio release which was only in stereo - why for goodness sake? I am returning this to Amazon for a replacement.

Bob got me high!

Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

This has taken me awhile to write this review because this is the first time I haven't been high for a couple months(supply is running low all across the country, massive epidemic) Here's the story, In anticipation for weed becoming legal in Canada on October 17, 2018, I was looking for something that would help me to smoke my first legal joint. Side note, I have also never smoked weed in my life before this. so straight to the point, I threw this record on October 17th and smoked a big ol' fatty and discovered Bob was the wisest man ever and knew the meaning to life & secondly, I should have been smoking this stuff since I was a wee gaffer, I've wasted my life up until this point.

Contains all you favourite tracks as per the track list

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Contains all you favourite tracks as per the track list. I picked it up here for £14, very reasonable as the average price on discogs for new/used combined is over £15.

The barcode is 0600753030523 for those wondering about edition/versions.

There is no additional artwork or detail inside the sleeve, and it has a simple white cover for the vinyl itself, as per images.

A must have for any Bob Marley fan, or anyone just wanting to know what he is all about.
