Home / Reggae & Dub / Survival
A militant, pan-African roots peak of political urgency. Bold and powerful. A strong late record. Released in 1979, it's a key entry in Bob Marley and the Wailers's run.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
