The legendary Bob Marley continues to influence new artists even after
his death over 30 years ago. His studio albums are some of the belling
selling of all-time. Four of his albums have been remastered and
re-released in a deluxe edition and now we get the deluxe edition of his
1978 album "Kaya."
In honor of the album's 35th Anniversary, we get a newly remastered
expanded edition of the original album which includes the bonus song,
"Smile Jamaica." According to Marley, "to sing about suffering all the
time is not a deep thing." So the album "Kaya" was recorded for "our
people to live the way they want to live. We have to stop the
suffering." Songs like "Easy Skanking," "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My
Soul" give the message of love and redemption that we can all live by.
The bonus song, "Smile Jamaica" was first released on the deluxe edition
of the "Rastaman Vibration" album, but will be released for the fist
time on vinyl as part of this deluxe edition of the "Kaya" album.
Now, the second disc is what fans and collectors will be the most
interested in as it features and unreleased concert recorded in
Rotterdam, Netherlands on July 7, 1978. The "Live at Ahoy Hallen" disc
consists of 13 songs, mixing newly released songs "Is This Love" and
Easy Skanking" for the "Kaya" album with live favorites "Jamming" and "No Woman No Cry." The
concert also features the classic "War/No More Trouble" and the
ten-minute closer "Exodus."
Both discs sound outstanding, as the highest quality equipment was
used to remaster the music as each instrument is heard individually.
This new "Kaya: 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" will be released on
April 23 through Universal Music Enterprises in a 2CD and on April 30 on
180-Gram virgin vinyl. For more information on this special release,
