Bob Marley & The Wailers – Exodus (Vinyl LP, 1977, Island Records ILPS 9498, Pitman Pressing, Black Labels)

Why This Record Matters
Exodus is Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1977 studio album and includes “Jamming,” “Waiting In Vain,” “Three Little Birds,” “One Love / People Get Ready,” and the title track. The sessions feature Aston “Familyman” Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Tyrone Downie, Junior Marvin, and backing vocals from Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths, and Judy Mowatt. The album became one of Marley’s defining international releases and combines politically focused material on Side A with several of his best-known songs on Side B.
