Premiere: Bob Marley “One Love” from Ziggy Marley mixed and curated _Exodus 40: The Movement Continues_

May 12, 2017


Bob Marley & the Wailers’ Exodus album, was originally released on June 3, 1977. To  mark the 40th anniversary of the record, which Time magazine named the “Best Album of the 20th Century,” The Marley Family, Island Records and UMe have prepped a series of special reissues for this June. Three of these will feature Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues, in which son Ziggy Marley has revisited the original session recordings, uncovering unused and never-before-heard vocals, lyric phrasing and instrumentation to produce new session takes for his “restatement” of the original album.

On June 2, UMe will release a version of Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues in a two-CD package that includes the original album and the Ziggy Marley restatement; a three-CD set (and digital equivalent) that includes the original Exodus, Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues and Exodus Live. A limited edition gold vinyl version of the original 1977 album will also be available.  Finally, a Super Deluxe, four-LP, two-7” single vinyl version includes the original LP, Ziggy Marley’s restatement Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues, an Exodus Live set recorded at London’s Rainbow Theatre the week of the album’s release, Punky Reggae Party LP which includes a previously unreleased extended mix of “Keep On Moving”, and a pair of vinyl 7” singles, including “Waiting in Vain” b/w “Roots” and “Smile Jamaica (Part One)” b/w “Smile Jamaica (Part Two).”

Today we premiere the version of “One Love” from Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues.
