Initially released on May 8, 1984, Legend holds the distinction of being the world’s best-selling reggae album of all time. A greatest hits compilation for the ages, Legend is the soundtrack to the remarkable life and recording career of one of reggae music’s most important and influential figures. This iconic collection not only serves as the perfect introduction to the music of Bob Marley, it has also become an essential element of every reggae fan’s permanent collection. This vinyl-only 35th anniversary reissue comprises the original BMW1 version of Legend with the addition of two original U.K.-only cassette bonus tracks (Easy Skanking and Punky Reggae Party). Among the album’s instantly recognizable tracks are Get Up Stand Up, One Love / People Get Ready, I Shot The Sheriff, Three Little Birds, Jammin', and Exodus. Other Legend anthems like No Woman No Cry and Is This Love feature backing vocals from The I Threes, an all-female trio comprised of Marley’s wife Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, and Marcia Griffiths.
