Exoduswould be Marleys only album primarily recorded outside of Jamaica; its London sessions were the first time the band recorded in the 24-track format. HisExodusresulted in an album that was tough and reflective, angry and romantic, suitable for domestic consumption and for crossover success.
Featuring the international hits Jamming, Waiting In Vain and One Love/People Get Ready,Exoduswas named Album of the Century by Time Magazine. Every song is a classic, from the messages of love to the anthems of revolution, Time wrote. But more than that, the album is a political and cultural nexus, drawing inspiration from the Third World and then giving voice to it the world over.
The irony ofExodusis that in leaving Jamaica, Marley brought reggae home to the rest of the world. Along the way, he popularized the innovative form known as versions, which separated out and spotlighted the instrumental rhythm tracks to reggae songs. Due to this process, reggaes loping, hypnotic rhythms would find its way into rock n roll.Exoduswill feature the original gold metallic jacket with embossed lettering.Tracks
