+——————————-[Release Notes]——————————+
| |
| Released: 30 April 1976. Highest Chart Positions: UK: 15, USA: 8 |
| |
| Having acheived a considerable coup with “Live!”, Bob returned to the |
| studio for his next album, full of songs that would be entirely new to |
| his now burgeoning white audience, even if some were familiar to |
| Jamaican listeners. The spirit of the album was very different from |
| that of “Natty Dread”, the previous studio set, less upbeat and more |
| mellow. The album produced the classic song “War”. Again the album was |
| record at Harry J’s but this time Joe Gibb’s studio’s in Kingston was |
| also used. |
| |
| Musicians: Bob Marley, Aston Barrett, Carlton Barrett, Tyrone Downie, |
| “The I-Threes”: Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, Alvin |
| Petterson, Earl Smith, Don Kinsey, Al Anderson, Tommy McCook, Glen Da |
| Costa and David Madden. |

| |
| Positive Vibration |
| |
| Bob declares arguements are prayers to the devil. A nice way to start |
| the album. This track was also used to open shows, always a great way |
| to start the show off and no different here on the album. |
| |
| Roots, Rock, Reggae |
| |
| Roots, Rock, Reggae borrows a couple of lyrics from “Rainbow Country” |
| here. It seems as though this is an appeal from Bob to the US music |
| business, with the line “Play I on the R&B” asking to be a part of the |
| US black radio programming. |
| |
| Johnny Was |
| |
| “Johnny Was” offers a lyric about a son’s death. The story behind the |
| song is that a Jamaican ghetto rudie is show in the street leaving his |
| mum wondering where she went wrong, “Wondering how she can work it out |
| / Now she knows that the wages of sin is death / Gift of Jah is life”. |
| Bob seems to be implying that if the kid had been brought up a Rasta |
| none of this would have happend. The man in question is rumoured to be |
| Carlton Wilson, brother of singer Delroy, though there is no hard |
| evidence to confirm or deny this. The song was only played live once |
| at Tower Theatre in 76, and after listening to it, it makes you wonder |
| why, as it was such a great performance. |
| |
| Cry To Me |
| |
| Again Bob returns to the mid 60′s era. This time with a cover of the |
| Wailers song from 1966. A great “Cry To Me” acoustic version of this |
| song is featured on “The Complete Wailers 67-72 Part3 Box Set”. A must |
| have song. |
| |
| Want More |
| |
| A slowbeat onedrop examines greed and jealousy. Some great guitar work |
| from Don Kinsey is featured. Another one of my favourite songs, |
| especially live. |
| |
| Crazy Baldhead |
| |
| With the banshee wail at the start, Bob is again in militant style. |
| Lyrics were taken from The Wailers track Freedom Time (circa 1967) and |
| reworked into Crazy Baldhead. The song was segued into “Running Away” |
| during live concerts, which like War/No More Trouble made sense. |
| |
| Who The Cap Fit |
| |
| Who The Cap Fit is a remake of an obscure Wailers single “Man To Man” |
| (1971). Bob sings: “Your worst enemy could be your best friend / And |
| your best friend your worst enemy”. |
| |
| Night Shift |
| |
| Another reworking of an old song this time It’s Alright (1970/71). The |
| song casts Bob as a forklift driver he is refering to his days working |
| nights at The Chrysler motor plant in Delware, USA 1966, combined with |
| a warehouse job operating a forklift which he took in the city. |
| |
| War |
| |
| Another Marley classic. The lyrics were taken from speech from Emperor |
| Haile Selassie’s UN 1968 speech. This album version doesn’t quite seem |
| to have the fire & fierceness of the live performance. This was sequed |
| with No More Trouble in concert, producing a wonderful song. Bob felt |
| strongly ebough to make this an anthem. |
| |
| An interesting note is that the album version is missing 30seconds and |
| an extra verse, the demo includes the extra 30 seconds and why the LP |
| version is missing the extra verse is a mystery and crime. It enhances |
| what is already a powerful and classic track. The missing verse is as |
| follows: |
| |
| |
| “Until bigotry and pejudice, malicious, |
| inhuman self-interest, |
| Have been replaced by understanding and tolerence and good will, |
| yeah, war, |
| Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, |
| Equal in the eyes of The Almighty, war, everywhere is war” |
| |
| |
| |
| Rat Race |
| |
| The closing song on the album is another gem. “Rat Race” examines the |
| arms race and finds it a Rat Race. Mentioning collective security on |
| the road of sudden destruction. Bob declares that “Rasta dont work for |
| no C.I.A”. |
