What can I say, this is THE "King of Reggae"! The Deluxe Edition is a great package with the Legend album itself, plus a nicely presented booklet and bonus CD. This extra CD is an interesting mixture of re-mixes and extended versions, with some songs not on the Legend CD. Not sure how much Mr. Marley was involved with these, and one or two are a little irksome (being popped-up or over sampled), but it's still a great CD to listen to, and doesn't cost any more. In fact it was 2p cheaper than the single CD version when I bought it. The Legend CD of course if flawless, and should be in anyone's collection even if you don't normally listen to reggae.

My favorite album of all time. The music is fantastic, I specially like the long version of "Exodus", "Bufflo Soldier" and "Waitin in Vain". I have so many Bob Marley albums. I have 13 of them. But this album is the best out of all of them. Just ask me a question about him and I'll give you the correct answer. There is no favourie song because they are all brillant, songs such as "Exodus", "Punky Reggae Party", "Could You Be Loved", "Waitin In Vain", "One Love" and "Three Little Birds". I really like the dub versions of these songs they are brillant. I'll play them over and over again. Its a shame really when there's not a lot of people reviewing this album, they don't know what they are missing. If I was to choose from any artist including the new artists at the moment (which they are crap anyway) Bob Marley is the one for me, he is a Legend. So I recommend you to buy this album. You'll regret it if you don't. I promise.

Why bother reviewing this album, im sure theres very few people on this planet who dont know it.This best of, is possibly the best best of which has ever been put together, it really is a superb collection of Bob Marley and you juat can fault the inclusion of any track. flawless, maybe i shot the sheriiff feels slighly naff after annialtion by eric clapton, but we will let that one slide.I just have so many memories associated with this CD that its impossible to be unbiased in a review.This is the best way to start getting into mr Marley, then dig deeper and deeper uncovering all the gems on other lesser known Cds.

My tape version of Legend finally gave out and it coincided with the Deluxe edition - despite some misgivngs the second disc is an excellent addition to my largeish BM catalogue - most of the remixes add depth to the familiar songs , the dub version of One Love an excellent finale. 2 remixes of waiting in vain seems odd - would have preferred a couple more dub versions of other songs instead. As for disc 1, my it still remains the best collection of his songs - Easy Skankin & Punky Reggae Party add to the well known hits - might have benefited from Survival instead but I'm splitting hairs. If you have 1 Love compilation this one might be double handling as it were - if you havent then Legend should be the next thing you buy. Now !
