I grew up in Jamaica and as a teenager I can recall seeing the posters at the bus stop advertising an upcoming concert... and The Wailers were headliners. But I never truly listened to Bob untill the Live album came out.
I remember sitting in my room one Saturday listening to the horse races on the radio, and in betweem each race the DJ would play No Woman No Cry. The words were haunting.. "And I remember when we used to sit... In a Government Yard in trenchtown..." The vouce and lyrics seemed magical... so simple yet so beautiful. That was about 30 years ago and I have been a fan ever since. Bob's music spoke to me personally, as it did to people all around te world. As it will speak to you once you play this album. But don't stop there... buy more... listen to songs like Concrete Jungle; Talking Blues, and Roots Rock Reggae. In fact let your next album be the Live at the London Lyceum and you will get a flavour for the infectious Bob.

If you have a Jamaican friend have him/her explain the lyrics (if needed). But regardless, just enjoy the music. Enjoy it with fans from Africa, Europe, Canada and now the USA. I saw Bob once in Tampa and was amazed at the 'good old boys' in Cowboy hats and bandanas that screamed for Bob and sang his songs. I knew then that Bob's music was truly intended for the world to love.

When Bob died I heard the news over BBC radio. I was 20+ years old then but I cried. I had lost a good friend. Then I reached for my records and played Rastaman Chant, and cried some more when Bob sang... "One bright morning when my work is over I will fly away home.", the background containing soulful conga drumming. But as the song ended I felt better.. bob's music made me feel better. Fly on BOB. And you my friend... listen to the Music on Legend and experience an upliftment... fly with Bob. Enjoy Legend! But remember there is more great Marley music awaiting you.

Condition

I tend to be conservative and do my best to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible. I don't settle for a visual inspection. Records can look fine yet sound like crap. I also listen to every record/song I sell.

I rate the vinyl as Excellent, clean, with few visible scratches or scuffs--certainly no skips. Lead-in grooves are clean and fingerprint free. Surface noise is vry low and audible typically only between program material. Labels are clean, flat and in good condition. This is one sweet sounding and nice looking LP. Much enjoyment here.

I also rate the cover as Ner Mint : Looks nearly new. A few very small creases.

My records

These are records I collected over the last 40 years.  I bought many of them new and have kept them that way. Others, ones I bought used or traded for, were carefully chosen, thoroughly cleaned and stored properly. If they came with printed sleeves or other promotional items, I saved them inside the cover along with the record, always stored in paper/poly liners.

If you like what you see, please come back...and thanks for looking.
