Bob Marley & The Wailers - Exodus - 1LP on 180g Black Vinyl, Reissue
Exodus - Movement of the Jah People.
Bob Marley and the Wailers recorded their monumental ninth studio album, Exodus, between January and April 1977, with some initial sessions originating in 1976. The recording took place at Basing Street Studios (Island Studios) in London, a location prompted by Marley's self-imposed exile following a December 1976 assassination attempt on his life in Jamaica.
The core personnel shaping the album's distinct, polished reggae-fusion sound included Aston "Family Man" Barrett on bass, Carlton Barrett on drums, Tyrone Downie on keyboards, and Alvin Patterson on percussion. A pivotal addition to the lineup was lead guitarist Junior Marvin, who brought blues and rock sensibilities to the band, while the I-Threes—consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Rita Marley—provided the signature backing vocals.
Upon its release on 3 June 1977, Exodus achieved massive critical and commercial success, remaining on the UK charts for a staggering 56 consecutive weeks and propelling Marley to global superstardom. Over the decades, its acclaim has only amplified. In 1999, TIME magazine declared Exodus the “Best Album of the 20th Century”, celebrating its masterful blend of political, spiritual, and romantic themes.
Further cementing its legacy as a cultural milestone, the album was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 2006.
The album remaining a timeless masterpiece that redefined global popular music.
