Wailers' 'Burnin'' Gets Expanded

Reggae fans will have reason to celebrate Sept. 28, as Island/Tuff Gong/UME reissues Bob Marley & the Wailers' classic 1973 album "Burnin'" as a two-CD package including a previously unreleased concert recording from that year.

The first disc of "Burnin' -- Deluxe Edition" will feature the original album (including such hits as "I Shot the Sheriff," "Burnin' and Lootin'," "Small Axe" and "Put It On"), as well as five bonus tracks: an alternate take and a single version of "Get Up, Stand Up"; the B-side "Reincarnated Soul"; and "No Sympathy" and "The Oppressed Song," both of which were released for the first time on Island/Tuff Gong/UME's 2001 digitally remastered version of "Burnin'."

Disc two of the set features a 12-song Wailers concert recorded Nov. 23, 1973, at England's Leeds Polytechnic. Founding member Bunny Wailer had already left the group by that point, but the show features Marley and Peter Tosh, who would also soon take leave of the pioneering reggae band.

The show includes performances of "Duppy Conqueror," "Slave Driver," "No More Trouble," "Kinky Reggae," "Stir It Up," the rarity "You Can't Blame the Youth" and a 13-minute version of "Lively Up Yourself."

"Burnin'" joins previously issued Deluxe Editions of the Marley albums "Catch a Fire," "Exodus," "Rastaman Vibration" and the greatest-hits set "Legend."

О, Господи!

Marley's Wife Plans to Exhume Remains

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - The wife of reggae legend Bob Marley said Wednesday she plans to exhume his remains in Jamaica and rebury them in his "spiritual resting place" — Ethiopia.

No date has been set for the reburial, but it will be after February when monthlong celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Marley's birth are planned in Ethiopia. Both the Ethiopian church and government officials support the project, Rita Marley told The Associated Press.

"We are working on bringing his remains to Ethiopia," said Rita Marley, a former backup singer for her husband's band, The Wailers. "It is part of Bob's own mission."

Born in 1945 in rural St. Ann parish in Jamaica, Bob Marley rose from the gritty shantytowns of Kingston to global stardom with hits such as "No Woman, No Cry" and "I Shot the Sheriff." His lyrics promoting "one love" and social revolution made him an icon in developing countries worldwide. Bob Marley died of cancer in Miami in 1981 at age 36.

Rita Marley said her husband would be reburied in Shashemene, 155 miles south of Addis Ababa where several hundred Rastafarians have lived since they were given land by Ethiopia's last emperor, Haile Selassie.

Hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans embraced Haile as their living god and head of the Rastafarian religious movement.

Bob Marley was a devout Rastafarian, a faith whose followers preach a oneness with nature, grow their hair uncombed into dreadlocks and smoke marijuana as a sacrament. About 700,000 people practice it worldwide.

"Bob's whole life is about Africa. It is not about Jamaica," said Rita Marley, a Jamaican singer who was born in Cuba and married the reggae star in 1966.

"How can you give up a continent for an island? He has a right for his remains to be where he would love them to be. This was his mission.

"Ethiopia is his spiritual resting place. With the 60th anniversary this year, the impact is there and the time is right."

Together with the African Union and the U.N. children's agency, Rita Marley has organized celebrations in Ethiopia, including a concert on Bob Marley's birthday, Feb. 6, to be held in Addis Ababa.

The monthlong celebration, dubbed "Africa Unite" after one of Bob Marley's songs, aims to raise funds to help poor families in Ethiopia.

African and reggae artists — including the Marley Family, Senegal's Baaba Maal and Youssou N'Dour, and Benin's Angelique Kidjo — will perform as part of the $1 million program. The event is expected to be broadcast in Africa and beyond.

Jamaicans Angry Over Marley Plans
Thu Jan 13

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Jamaicans reacted angrily Thursday to plans by Bob Marley's widow to exhume the reggae legend's remains and rebury them in Ethiopia, an African country holy to Rastafarians, saying it would rob the Caribbean island of its national heritage.

The news ignited radio call-in programs and Internet chat rooms in Jamaica and around the globe, with most people coming down strongly against moving the remains of the singer, who died of cancer in 1981 at age 36.

One university professor said such a deed would meet "serious hostility."

"Has Rita lost her mind?" P. Chin wrote in a letter published Thursday in Jamaica's most widely read newspaper, The Gleaner. "Bob loved Jamaica. He wouldn't have made it his home if it were otherwise."

Speaking Wednesday in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, Rita Marley said she was working on bringing her husband's remains to his "spiritual resting place."

She said the reburial would occur after February celebrations in Jamaica and Ethiopia marking Bob Marley's 60th birthday and has the support of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Ethiopian government officials.

"We are working on bringing his remains to Ethiopia," said Rita Marley, a former backup singer for her late husband's band, The Wailers. "It is part of Bob's own mission."

The announcement brought immediate controversy and confusion. In Kingston, the Bob Marley Foundation, a charity headed by Rita Marley, denied reports of her statement in Ethiopia, and a spokesman for the family later issued a statement quoting her as saying that Jamaica "will remain the resting place for Bob Marley for the foreseeable future."

A Cuban-born Jamaican citizen who now lives in the West African country of Ghana, Mrs. Marley, 58, has had an uneasy relationship with her adopted Caribbean homeland, where some complain she has exploited her late husband's image and music for commercial gain.

Popular host Cliff Hughes voiced opposition to moving Marley's body on his nightly show on Jamaica's Power 106 radio.

"The Marley family is going to have to convince me that this is what Bob wanted," Hughes said Wednesday. "He's part of Jamaica's national heritage. With the greatest respect, he belongs to the Marley family, and he belongs to the people of Jamaica."

Born in 1945, Marley grew up in the gritty shantytowns of Kingston and later shot to global stardom with hits like "I Shot the Sheriff" and "No Woman, No Cry." His poignant lyrics promoting social justice and African unity made him an icon in developing countries.

Marley was given a state funeral and buried along with his Gibson guitar and bible in a marble mausoleum at his birthplace of Nine Mile, a rugged hamlet in the green hills of northern Jamaica that's popular with tourists. A statue of Marley graces the entrance to the national sports stadium in Kingston.

Mrs. Marley said her late husband would be reburied in Shashemene, 155 miles (250 kilometers) south of Addis Ababa, where several hundred Rastafarians have lived since they were given land by Ethiopia's last emperor, Haile Selassie.

Rastafarians worshipped Selassie as their living god, a belief based on the prophecy by Jamaican civil rights leader Marcus Garvey that a black man would be crowned king in Africa.

A devout Rastafarian, Marley's lyrics were laden with references to the faith, whose followers preach a oneness with nature, grow their hair uncombed into dreadlocks and smoke marijuana as a sacrament.

Rupert Lewis, a political science professor at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, said Marley is a crucial part of Jamaica's identity and that any attempt to move his remains would be met by "serious hostility" on the island of 2.6 million.

"The people would not allow that body to physically leave Jamaica," said Lewis. "He's a focal point of the Jamaican identity. What it means to be Jamaican is inherently bound up in Bob Marley."

Others saw no problem with the idea.

"She feels he wants to be in Africa? Go ahead," broadcaster Allen Magnus said during his morning program on radio RJR. "She has the right. It's her husband."

This isn't the first time that Rita Marley has created a stir. While promoting her autobiography last year, she was quoted in Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid as saying that Bob had raped her once. She later said she was misinterpreted, but the remarks angered many of the late singer's faithful.

The latest uproar comes less than a month after Marley's estate announced plans to lobby the government to make the revered artist a national hero, Jamaica's highest honor.

Абсолютно не впечатляет. "Кто заставил меня слушать Боба Марли целый день?!"

уважаемый Primal Scream.
возможно ли распространить нашу договореность о хендриксе так же на боба марлей (и может еще на кинг кримсон).
с ходу я понимаю 10-15% текста. если посидеть помучаться можно удвоить результат. но это все равно очень мало(да и на работе мне не датут столько "помучиться"). ладно еще конкретно эту новость кто-то выложил на заглавной странице. музыка марлей для меня почти так же ценна как и у хендрикса, и если вам не сложно хотя бы в общих чертах разместите рядом перевод.
приятно что есть люди (хотя и мало) на сайте кому нравится его музыка.
к сожалению его музыка, как и у хендрикса - это музыка одного исполнителя. я в том смысле что они пришли и взяли (каждый в своем направлении) по максимуму. любой работающий в их стиле, как бы он не был крут, всегда будет вторым. а на свою музыку они (по крайней мере меня лично) подсадили как на наркотик. и хочеться слушать еще и еще в этих стилях, а нееееет. все последователи бледны и прозрачны перед оригиналами. поэтому приходится собирать всякие бутлеги и не изданные записи. чтобы их собирать - нужно владеть информацией. а информацию вы уважаемый Primal Scream выкладываете на английском. досадно!!! повторюсь. если вас не затруднит хотя бы в общих чертах продублируйте на русском.
с уважением

2 vasil ibn rashit: да марля сам последователь ;) Не надо его так идеализировать...
