Bob Marley ~ Legend
'Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the original 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, then 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...'

'Unusually presented - it's in a round can - low-budget UK release, featuring 8 Bob Marley tracks and 5 by Gregory Isaacs, so that's the Reggae heritage angle well and truly checked...from various era's, with some modern sounding Cool Ruler tracks (1990 to 2004) sitting alongside the Marley tracks, a couple of classics, and a number of maybe lesser-known tracks to widen your horizons...Augustus Pablo features too, it seems...'
