Artist:  Bob Marley & the Wailers

Title:  Rastaman Vibration

Date:  1976

Label:  Island Records   7 90033-1

Cover Design + Graphics:  Neville Garrick

Notes:  While none of the more favorite cuts from his greatest hits gallery make an appearance here this is a fantastic record. Especially for those who like the more traditional, serious music in Bob's notebook. No Peter Tosh on this one, but the hole is filled and the band plays on. As much a family as a band everyone is heard from through their music and message. A nice burlap bag (hemp perhaps) for the cover canvas and a wonderful colorized inner spread of the band on stage. If you enjoy Bob you need this record.
