NewsBob Marley / Songs of Freedom
First time on vinyl outside Jamaica • 6LP and 3CD sets
A revised version of the 1992 Bob Marley box set, Songs of Freedom: The Island Years, is being reissued at the end of this month.
This box still features a mix of classic tracks, remixes, B-sides, Jamaican singles and alternates but for ‘revised’, read ‘reduced’, since what was originally an 8LP vinyl set and a 4CD package is now a 6LP vinyl box and a 3CD set. 78 tracks from the originals are distilled down to just 47 for this new edition (the CD and vinyl boxes share the same track listing).
That said, the vinyl box was previously only ever available in Jamaica, so this is the first full worldwide release on that format. The records come with ‘custom labels’ and the box includes a 20-page booklet.
The CD edition is no longer the old style ‘long box’ and it includes a 96-page booklet.
Songs of Freedom: The Island Years is reissued on 5 February 2021 (was 29 January), via UMC/Island.
