Bob Marley and The Wailers: Babylon by Bus (1978)

Untitled
I think Allmusic is right about this album, about which they said: "Arguably the most influential live reggae album ever..." and "Without question, Babylon by Bus is an integral component of any popular music collection."[source]

Wikipedia notes: "Like the 1973 album Catch a Fire, the first release had something of a novelty cover. The windows of the bus on the front cover were cut out, revealing part of the inner sleeve. As this was a double album, the listener had a choice of four different scenes to view through the windows." [source].

I think all of Marley's records have been repressed on vinyl. This is an original Canadian pressing.
