Bob Marley & Wailers ORIG US LP Survival EX '79 Island ILPS9542 Roots Reggae
Original US LP released in 1979 on Island Records. Cat: ILPS9542. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition.
Containing what is considered Marley's most defiant and politically charged statement to date, Survival concerns itself with the expressed solidarity of not only Africa, but of humanity at large. The album was controversial right down to the jacket, which contains a crude schematic of the stowage compartment of a typical transatlantic slave ship. Survival is intended as a wake-up call for everyman to resist and fight oppression in all of its insidious forms. From Tyrone Downie's opening synthesizer strains on "So Much Trouble in the World" to the keyboard accents emerging throughout "Zimbabwe," the sounds of Survival are notably modern. The overwhelming influence of contemporary African music is also cited with the incorporation of brass, á la Fela Kuti and his horn-driven Africa '70. While "Top Rankin'," "Ride Natty Ride," and "Wake Up and Live" are the most obvious to benefit from this influence, there are other and often more subtle inspirations scattered throughout.
Tracks : Wake up and live/ Africa unite/ One drop/ Ride natty ride/ Ambush in the night/ So much trouble in the world/ Zimbabwe/ Top rankin'/ Babylon system/ Survival.
