A THREE-LP vinyl edition of Bob Marley and The Wailers’ epic 1975 Live! album will be released December 16 through the Marley family and Universal Music.
A digital version is also being released that day, as well as a limited edition seven-inch live vinyl with No Woman, No Cry backed with Natty Dread.
The original Live! was released by Island Records in December 1975, five months after Marley and his band performed at the Lyceum Theater in London. It contained seven songs from the second show on July 18.
The vinyl package revisits both shows with previously unreleased performances of Trenchtown Rock, Burnin’ And Lootin’, Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) and Rebel Music (3 O’Clock Roadblock).
There are also previously unreleased full length versions of Lively Up Yourself and Get Up, Stand Up. Live! is a pivotal title in the Marley catalog, which is owned by Universal Music.
It was released one year after Natty Dread, his first ‘solo’ album for Island, which was hailed by critics internationally.
In 2014 the Marleys and Universal Music released a vinyl edition of Legend to celebrate that album’s 30th anniversary. Legend, which contains 14 of Marley’s popular songs, was released three years after his death from cancer at age 36.
