Radiation Roots presents a reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Marley and The Wailers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Rebels\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, originally issued in 1970. Easily one of the greatest roots reggae albums of all time, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Rebels\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e resulted from the intensive partnership brokered by the group and maverick producer, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLee 'Scratch' Perry\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. It was the first Wailers 'concept' album, conceived as a long-player based on a rebellious theme, rather than a collection of isolated singles, and the presence of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarrett\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brothers in the rhythm section pointed the way for greater glories to come. The Wailers first formed as an unruly five-piece in 1963, with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJunior Braithwaite\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as lead singer and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeverley Kelso\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e an early member, sometimes replaced by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCherry Green\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. During their long tenure at Studio One, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Marley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e gradually shifted to the lead vocal role and the robust core of Marley, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Tosh\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeville Livingston\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, aka \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBunny Wailer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, soon emerged as the mainstays of the group. Perry was involved with the Wailers at Studio One, using their talents for backing vocals on some of his solo work, but the partnership that yielded \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoul Rebels\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was in an entirely different league. The title track, Tosh's anguished \"400 Years and \"Corner Stone\" are legendary for their intense power; \"It's Alright\" set the template for the later \"Night Shift,\" \"My Cup\" was an individual barebones reading of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Brown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \"I Guess I'll Have To Cry Cry Cry,\" while the playful \"Try Me\" and \"No Water\" are suggestive odes. Tosh's dejected \"No Sympathy\" and the spirited \"Soul Almighty\" are other winners and the \"Cloud 9\" revamp \"Rebel's Hop\" is another joy. All killer, no filler!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forced Exposure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551165051088,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/4201\/4416\/files\/marleysoulrebels.jpg?v=1745954174","url":"https:\/\/www.grapefruitrecordclub.com\/products\/bob-marley-the-wailers-soul-rebels-lp","provider":"Grapefruit Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
