Natty Dread — 1974

Bob Marley and the Wailers

Released 1974Reggae & Dub
Classic

The first record credited to Bob Marley and the Wailers, leaner and more focused, home to 'No Woman, No Cry'. The new line-up and the I Threes harmonies give it real warmth. A roots high point. Worth exploring once you've heard the obvious entry points.

On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
