"Legend" is the definitive multi-platinum collection of greatest hits from Reggae pioneer Bob Marley. The global superstar, one of Rolling Stone’s 100 greatest artists of all time is joined by his extraordinary band, The Wailers. Marley led the Reggae charge with his rich political lyrics and moving beats, forever revolutionizing the music scene and setting the precedence for all musicians to follow. This compilation is one of Billboard’s longest charting albums of all time and was included on Rolling Stone’s 500 greatest albums of all time.
The classic Marley album, the one that any fair-weather reggae fan owns, Legend contains his greatest songs, running the gamut from "I Shot the Sheriff" to the meditative "Redemption Song" and the irrepressible "Three Little Birds." Some may argue that the compilation shortchanges his groundbreaking early ska work or his status as a political commentator, but this isn't meant to be definitive, it's meant to be an introduction, sampling the very best of his work. And it does that remarkably well, offering all of his genre-defying greats and an illustration of his excellence, warmth, and humanity. In a way, it is perfect since it gives a doubter or casual fan anything they could want. Let's face it, the beauty and simplicity of Marley's music was as important as his message, and that's captured particularly well here.

About the Mastering:
Mastering was completed by Kevin Reeves at Sterling Sound NYC, using the original U.S. and U.K, album masters from the Island Records vault. The masters were played on a modified Studer A820 with Wolke Butterfly heads and converted to digital at *192khz/24bit resolution using the DCS 904 converter and Sterling’s proprietary mastering systems. As always, the most direct signal path was maintained throughout the mastering process.
