Bob Marley and the Wailers: Exodus (1977)

He said: I got through the part about the exodus.
Up to then I only knew it was a movement of the people.

"Exodus
Movement of Jah people! Oh oh oh, yeah!"

This is a fabulous record containing a number of well-known Marley tracks, like Exodus, Jamming, Waiting in Vain, and Three Little Birds. It's truly amazing to me that anyone would have wanted to kill Marley, which is what someone tried to do in late 1976. Someone wasn't a fan of his anti-corruption, peace and love message, it seems.

I have an original Canadian pressing.
