Bob Marley & The Wailers – One Love: The Very Best Of

This version of release have Different last tracks, its not ususal "I Know A Place (Secret Agents Remix)",
but "I Know A Place (Stereo Mix) w. harmonies", as i know this is only one source for this (Stereo Mix),
other releases have (Mono Mix) w. harmonies.
(Stereo Mix) is ~10 seconds shorter than (Mono Mix)

There is a lot of stuff here! Therefore recommended for those who need a shot of vintage reggae every now and then, without wasting time searching the shelves among old LPs. It will be forty years next year since Robert Marley left us, a longer time than his own lifetime. Wish this record be a kick for young Millennials too - having heard a few pieces here and there - for getting a closer ear to one of the myths of modern popular music.

Of course, the subtitle "The Very Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers" might seem pretentious, but there is no deception here. Presented with a graphically attractive cover and artwork, twenty songs, certainly among Marley’s most important ones, in chronological order, which makes up a difference of this record with the previously released collection album “Legend”. So then, from «Stir It Up» from "Catch A Fire" (1973) up to «Could You Be Loved» and «Redemption Song» from "Uprising" (1980). Extracted from his posthumous albums, we have «Buffalo Soldier» from "Confrontation" and the latest gem «Iron Lion Zion» from "Natural Mystic".

I let go of criticizing Universal Music for the remix version of «There is a Place» (the closing track, which they need just for a “new” single on the market) as much as it would be too demanding of me to comment these songs. There is no need for that: better listen and let yourself go to the charm of tunes played a thousand times and still so exciting. I have my own favorite one though: «Turn Your Lights Down Low», not so well known as others, yet so fascinating; moreover, its reference album is “Exodus”, here well represented by three more tracks, leading us to appreciate Marley’s creativity season at its best.
