Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Even as greatest hits packages go, Legend is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot The Sheriff", the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry" or the sheer joy of "Jamming". Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. This deluxe edition presents not only the original recording remastered but also contains two bonus tracks ("Easy Skanking" and "Punky Reggae Party") and a second disc of 13 remixes. --Chris Nickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - LegendThe title of this album says it all. This is such a great collection of songs I don't know where to start. If you're new to Marley then you can't do better than this album, and if you're already a fan then this a great collection of his stuff in one place. Worth it for 'No woman no cry' alone! Brilliant summer music, or any time of the year it's that good! Rating:  - How many version do exist for this record?a) 1984 version - Island Records - first on LP then on CD (CID103) with radio version of the tracks - 50 minutes - essential purchase - the original multimillion seller - the best compilation ever b) 1994 version - Tuff Gong - remastered with same 14 tracks but in the album original long version - (Exodus and No Woman No Cry over 7 minutes, One Love dull version, etc.) c) 2002 version - Tuff Gong - second remaster same as 1994, plus Punky Reggae Party (not radio edit) and Easy Skanking d) Deluxe 2002 version - Tuff Gong with unnecessary second disc added - because some tracks sounded much better on the original 1984 release than all the remasters! Rating: - A must for any collection -Happy Jamaica Holiday.Very happy memeories of holiday in Negril Jamaica come flooding back with this cd. Get the deluxe edition as it adds a whole new wave of regagge to your life. This is must for any music fan whatever your taste. The man was a true genius of his trade and you cant help but listen to his music and just smile. A wave of Jamaican love floods over you every time you put the disc in your machine. Buy it. Rating: - The King!What can I say, this is THE "King of Reggae"! The Deluxe Edition is a great package with the Legend album itself, plus a nicely presented booklet and bonus CD. This extra CD is an interesting mixture of re-mixes and extended versions, with some songs not on the Legend CD. Not sure how much Mr. Marley was involved with these, and one or two are a little irksome (being popped-up or over sampled), but it's still a great CD to listen to, and doesn't cost any more. In fact it was 2p cheaper than the single CD version when I bought it. The Legend CD of course if flawless, and should be in anyone's collection even if you don't normally listen to reggae. Rating: - Bob Marley your the Rastaman. Yeah MunMy favorite album of all time. The music is fantastic, I specially like the long version of "Exodus", "Bufflo Soldier" and "Waitin in Vain". I have so many Bob Marley albums. I have 13 of them. But this album is the best out of all of them. Just ask me a question about him and I'll give you the correct answer. There is no favourie song because they are all brillant, songs such as "Exodus", "Punky Reggae Party", "Could You Be Loved", "Waitin In Vain", "One Love" and "Three Little Birds". I really like the dub versions of these songs they are brillant. I'll play them over and over again. Its a shame really when there's not a lot of people reviewing this album, they don't know what they are missing. If I was to choose from any artist including ... Read More: |
