It doesn’t get much more essential than this. One of history’s most prolific artists, pressed on to two black discs. The best–selling reggae album of all time. 33 million copies sold globally. If you’ve clicked on this link to check it out, you’ve probably already made your mind up. ‘Buffalo Soldier’. ‘Get Up, Stand Up’. ‘I Shot The Sheriff’. ‘Redemption Song.’ ‘Exodus.’ ‘No Woman, No Cry.’

This two LP collection was originally released in 1984, three years after Marley passed away, and it’s a terrific testament to his artistry and functions as a fitting eulogy. A collection of songs that can be as stirring as they can be relaxing. So throw it on, pour yourself a drink, jump in that hammock and let Marley and the Wailers soothe your soul.
