LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Four original Bob Marley and the Wailers albums recorded before 1972 -- SOUL REBELS, SOUL REVOLUTION PART II, UPSETTER REVOLUTION RHYTHM and THE BEST OF THE WAILERS -- are set to be reissued by JAD/Hip-O Records on August 31, 2004. Each album has been digitally remastered in the U.K. from the original masters.

Also simultaneously released will be a thematic compilation, ORIGINAL CUTS, featuring the early Jamaican hit recordings of songs the Wailers later re-cut for their classic Island/Tuff Gong albums. Among its 24 tracks are "Trenchtown Rock," "Small Axe," "Lively Up Yourself," "Kaya," "Stir It Up," "Duppy Conqueror," "Pass It On, " "Grooving Kingston," "Sun Is Shining," "Kaya" and "Duppy Conqueror."

In 1968, the Wailers began recording for Danny Sims and his JAD label. Though the relationship continued until 1972, it was not exclusive and the group would record for other labels too. In 1969, the Wailers laid down sessions for the Beverley label and producer Leslie Kong. The year after that, they (Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston) teamed with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, backed by his house band the Upsetters (whose rhythm section of bassist Aston "Family Man" Barrett and his drummer brother Carlton would soon join the Wailers).

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
