The Complete Island Recordings – Bob Marley and The Wailers

Descrizione

Nel 2016 esce una interessante e completissima raccolta della carriera di Bob Marley e dei Wailers: The Complete Island Recordings.

Dodici dischi in vinile che raccontano dieci anni di canzoni quando Bob Marley era ancora l’anima del gruppo dei The Wailers, con i migliori successi rimasti immortali, uno su tutti No Woman, No Cry.

La raccolta comprende nove album in studio, da Catch A Fire fino a Confrontation tutti registrati per la casa discografica Island, e due album live.

Il titolo si riferisce probabilmente al nome del produttore, anche se il sospetto è che sia un richiamo alle radici di Marley, la Giamaica.

Particolare il cofanetto che raccoglie gli 11 LP in 12 dischi in vinile, in scatola rigida che richiama i famosi accendini Zippo.
