Release date: 01-12-2015 (originally released in 1979)

2015 EU reissue on 180g vinyl LP = 1979 album from the Reggae legend. Powerful, pointed and political, Survival was as close as Bob Marley came to producing a concept album, recorded in London and Tuff Gong studio in Kingston. Survival is an album with an outwardly militant theme. Some speculate that this was due in part to criticism Marley received for the laid-back, ganja-soaked atmosphere of his previous release, Kaya, which seemed to sidetrack the urgency of his message.

Tracks:
A1 So Much Trouble In The World
A2 Zimbabwe
A3 Top Rankin'
A4 Babylon System
A5 Survival

B1 Wake Up And Live
B2 Africa Unite
B3 One Drop
B4 Ride Natty Ride
B5 Ambush In The Night

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
