    Now im confused.
    What pressing should i buy?
    The Red/Yellow/Green Tri-Color or Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 35th Anniversary, 180g?

      Could use some help from the experts here. Looking for a solid pressing of Legend that has the FULL 7:07 version of No Woman No Cry. Bought the Abbey Road half speed master, which sounds fantastic, but the song cuts off at 4:05 in the middle of the incredible guitar solo. Bought the Island Records / Europe / 1984 pressing used here because Discogs tracklist said No Woman No Cry was 7:07, but it's actually cut to 4:05 also.

      Any recommendations for best pressing w/ full No Woman No cry track? Was looking at this link below (2x vinyl 30th anniversary tri-color from Tuff Gong). https://discogs.futbolgratis.org/release/5852270-Bob-Marley-And-The-Wailers-Legend-The-Best-Of-Bob-Marley-And-The-Wailers

      Appreciate any input here!

        Bob Marley certainly is the first law of motion, 'every little action babe is my reaction' as Bob would say.. Makes you wanna move your feet. I never tire of Bob and this album has all his great's although Buffalo Soldier is the only hit missing... But yeah this album is a must for anyone's collection and it certainly makes you feel like dancing 💃🎶🎸

          You can NEVER go wrong with Bob Marley. This is an excellent compilation!

            Beyond me why this isn’t in compilations as this is a greatest hits record with tracks pulled from multiple records.

              Does anyone know where or if the 5:27 ET remix of Exodus is on CD? This edit of the 8 plus minute version seems only to be on the 1986 U.S. vinyl version of Legend.

                Agree! Back to black is awful! The sound is very low. I turn my gain to maximum level and it s still low. Be patient and don t buy!

                  The original UK pressing is wonderful. Surprised to see the repress constantly in the Amazon vinyl top 10 when you can pick up a decent analogue pressing in here for less than half the price.

                    Why did they issue this Album with the truncated version of No Woman No Cry..Ruins the entire album.

                      Does anyone know,
                      On the original US pressing with the remixes, how is Exodus edited from its original 12" extended version?
                      Is it just faded early, or have bits been cut from it?
