BOB MARLEY And The WAILERS Soul Revolution Part II Essential Information

"Soul Revolution Part II" Album Description:

The release of "Soul Revolution Part II" in 2017 marked a significant moment in the musical journey of Bob Marley and The Wailers. This 12" Picture Disc, a distinctive format appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts alike, showcased a "dub" version of the original Soul Revolution album, where the vocals were stripped off to emphasize the instrumental elements. To fully appreciate the contribution of this release, it's essential to delve into the historical context of dub music and its impact on the music industry.

Dub music originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s, with pioneers like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry experimenting with remixing reggae tracks. The term "dub" refers to the practice of removing or emphasizing certain elements of a song, often the vocals, and adding various effects to create a unique and immersive sonic experience. The genre gained popularity for its innovative use of studio technology, such as echo, reverb, and mixing techniques, to transform existing songs into new and captivating compositions.

In the context of "Soul Revolution Part II," the release of a dub version highlights the enduring influence of dub music on reggae and its evolution over the years. The original Soul Revolution album, released in 1971, already showcased Bob Marley and The Wailers' prowess in delivering powerful reggae music with socially conscious lyrics. The decision to create a dub version in 2017 speaks to the timeless nature of the dub genre and its ability to breathe new life into classic recordings.

This 12" Picture Disc format adds another layer of significance to the release. Picture Discs are vinyl records that feature graphics or images on the playing surface, making them visually striking and collectible. Beyond the auditory experience, collectors and fans appreciate the tangible and aesthetic appeal of these discs, making them valuable additions to music libraries.
