      I picked up a copy of this to replace a battered and worn copy. It's a very poor pressing, looks good heavy vinyl, but quiet and muddy sound. Went back to my original copy and despite its condition it's streets ahead of this garbage. Avoid this pressing and go back to any original Trojan copy. Can't believe that this hasn't been reissued recently by BMG or Music on Vinyl!

        Good flat and sturdy vinyl. Not quite 180g but heavier and thicker than standard issue. Vinyl is quiet and the media is clean. Sounds great! My favorite Bob album. Early recordings, early grooves and all are awesome.

          This album is so dope, also comes with a 10" separate vinyl. The original recordings are not masterful. This is a Sanctuary Records with Earmark label. Duppy Conqueror vocals ARE ON THIS reissue.

            Listening to this downmixed to 2 channel stereo, like being in the studio. Epic bass, detailed and clean with a whole lotta hiss, you know the hiss I'm referring to, the hiss of a wide open master transferred without the offence of noise reduction. The quality of the sources does vary throughout. Duppy Conqueror is the full vocal version referred to in another post.

              Excellent transfer from an analogue source, although the sound quality of the original recordings and the masters varies throughout. Duppy Conqueror is the semi vocal version referred to in another post.

                To clear up some confusion that I certainly had with this release and hopefully help others, I purchased the 77' GEMA press and also a still sealed recent US repress. Both copies were missing the vocals in Duppy Conqueror, one of my favorite songs by the Wailers. I then purchased a 73' original press and was shocked when track A3 comes on and poor Bob gets cut right off again. Distressed, I began looking into the source I enjoy on spotify that actually has the vocals and seems to have better channel separation and in general just better sound IMO. It says 2003 under the album name. So after looking here on discogs at the 2003 CD remaster reissue, that appears to be the proper mix I seek, the remastered version with bonus tracks. Now finding it on vinyl I looked to the 2004 Italian Earmark reissue, it says in the notes of the transparent release that Sanctuary records owns the copyright to this remaster, so I would look for any vinyl copy from 2004 or using the Sanctuary credits. Those are my findings with this interesting album, probably my favorite Wailers album, usually the original press sounds the best but in this case the remaster sounds better..

                  Anyone know more about this pressing? Track A3 Duppy Conqueror is missing the chorus vocals in the mix.

                    This listing copies original UK info including matrix and places it on a garbage US reissue from 2000s.
