Description
Bob Marley-Legend (Hemp Sack) LP
Island Records (US)
Description: Legend is the twelfth album by Bob Marley & the Wailers, and the second posthumous album, released in 1984 by Island Records, catalogue BMW 1 in the United Kingdom and A1 90169 in the United States. It is a greatest hits collection of singles in its original vinyl format, and the best-selling reggae album of all-time, with over 14 million copies sold in the United States and approximately 25 million copies sold globally. In 2003, the album was ranked number 46 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Content
It contains all ten of Marley's Top 40 hit singles in the UK up to the time, plus three songs from the early configuration of the Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston in "Stir It Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," and "Get Up, Stand Up," along with the closing song from the posthumous album Uprising, "Redemption Song." Marley enjoyed fewer chart hits in the United States, "Exodus," "Waiting in Vain," "Could You Be Loved" and "Buffalo Soldier" the only ones included on this collection. Of the original tracks, only four date from prior to the Exodus album.
The cassette tape release of the album featured two extra songs, "Punky Reggae Party," the b-side to the "Jamming" single, and "Easy Skanking" from the Kaya album. A second generation compact disc remastered by Barry Diament appeared in 1990 on the Tuff Gong label. Although the disc includes the same fourteen songs, the tracks are in their original album lengths rather than the edited versions for single release.
On February 12, 2002, the expanded fourteen-track edition with songs at album lengths was remastered for compact disc with a bonus disc consisting of 1984-vintage remixes for extended dance club singles and dub versions. In 2010, Legend was made available as downloadable content for Rock Band. However, it was released without "Get Up, Stand Up", which was later included on Rock Band 3.
Reception
Legend holds the distinction of being the second longest-charting album in the history of Billboard magazine. Combining its chart life on the Billboard 200 and the Top Pop Catalog Albums charts, Legend has had a chart run of 992 non-consecutive weeks, surpassed only by The Dark Side of the Moon at 1574 weeks. In the United Kingdom, Legend has sold 2,826,912 copies as of June 2009, making it the 25th biggest selling album of all time in that country, although to date it has apparently only been certified platinum six times in the UK denoting 1,800,000 copies shipped out. As of July 2011, the album charted for 719 weeks there.
