About the album

Before Island Records and international fame, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer spent a creative, chaotic stretch working with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry and his Upsetters band, and the records they made together are among the most important in reggae. Soul Revolution Part II, from 1971, catches that partnership in full flow.

Here are the first versions of songs Marley would return to for the rest of his career, "Keep On Moving", "Duppy Conqueror", "Kaya" and "Sun Is Shining", alongside "Put It On" and "Don't Rock My Boat" (later reworked as "Satisfy My Soul"). Perry's production is raw, bass-heavy and full of character. If you know the later hits, this is where you hear them being born, and they sound wonderfully rough around the edges.
