| Audio CD Description When Songs of Freedom was released originally in 1992, it was a perfect complement to either a greatest hits collection like Legend or the entire collection of the reggae master's albums. Songs boasts enough of the recognizable from Marley's canon to address the hit seeker, but the set also reaches way, way back to include Marley's first single, the youthful "Judge Not" from 1962, and then closes more than four hours later with a 1980 live take of "Redemption Song" from his last concert. In between are live takes, studio remixes, and, of course, standard looks at Marley standards, playing together as a perfect balance between the familiar and the new. The flow of famous takes increases into CDs 3 and 4, where "No Woman, No Cry" appears from a 1976 set at the Roxy and where "Jammin'" and "Exodus" come in mixes that were new to fans in 1992. Of course these four CDs show in wide-angle view exactly how fantastic and commercially improbable Marley was. He was able to popularize tunes about both the repression of African nations and their liberation while also bringing to rock audiences an undeniably Jamaican music, breaking the U.S. and British geographic strongholds on the 1970s pop and rock marketplace. Never mind that he made Island Records' first fortune, he also created a body of work so lasting that a four-CD set heavy on alternate versions can stand out in any contemporary music collection. For the 1999 reissue of the original 1992 box set, no new music has been added. The format has changed, though, from a long-box presentation to a cube containing individual slipcased CDs. It's still a remarkable gem. --Andrew Bartlett |

This Album is a fitting tribute to the genius of Bob Marley The set is magical, many people don't feel the reggae vibe out there, but it is a tribute to his genius. Every song has powerful lyrics that you can reflect upon, they reach deep into your soul and ask "What can I do to make the world a better place". Bob speaks through his music and is a important figure a hero the Jamaica and I can see why. The first Cd is not too good, but it shows his early days and the cd charts his progress from a young trenchtown boy to an international pop superstar. I enjoyed hearing alternate versions of the old classics like "Exodus" and "I shot the Sheriff". The book that came with was very interesting and I was amazed that he wrote nearly 500 songs in the short time he did. Few artists display the passion for music that he did. One of the best collections I own, I was amazed.
Best Collection of Marley around The best CD i own. This CD is a complete collection of Bob Marley's work from Judge Not to his final live song 'Redemption Song'. There is no better collection or album around than this, although it costs a little more, it will save you buying six or seven of bob's albums in the long run. Look out for the original limited edition (1,000,000 made)in the original box set from 1992. This is a rare find if you see one for sale. CD three is the best although on disc 2 there are seven fantastic acoustic versions of his songs that cannot be found anywhere else. This box set is a must for every bob marley...... no.... music lover.
There are also a thousand collectors editions knocking around signed by Rita Marley, include the original box set, Legend CD, Natural Mystic CD and a hardback copy of the Songs of Freedom book all packaged in a gift box set these things are worth a mint.
Although the CDs come in several different packages, any one of them is worth buying because of the excellent quality and selection of music on them. Happy Listening
Everything has already been said. I just got off the plane from my latest trip to Jamaica and Marley is still king. This is the best compilation ever and is a must have for all Marley fans. The linear notes/booklet that accompanies this is worth the 50 bucks alone. |
