PETER TOSH: LIVE AND DANGEROUS - 
Peter Tosh   There are some upcoming Peter Tosh albums about to be released over the next several months, that should be quite the collector's treat! Of special interest is a live concert album from a show Peter and his band performed in 1976. On May 22nd, Columbia/Legacy will release "Live And Dangerous: Boston 1976," an 11-track live disc, originally recorded on October 24th, 1976 at the Warner Theater in Boston, Massachusetts. The album features live renditions of Peter's best known songs from his first two solo albums, as well as other treats, including a live version of "Mark Of The Beast."

   Columbia/Legacy will also be releasing yet another Peter Tosh greatest hits compilation, entitled "Super Hits" on April 17th. The disc includes album material from his first two albums, "Legalize It" and "Equal Rights," with no extras. The price for this disc will run under $10, making it a great starting point for people new to Peter Tosh's music. There are also plans to re-release Peter Tosh's "Honorary Citizen" boxset, originally released in 1997, but this time in a cube box shaped format, with the possible release date of June 5th.

WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS? - 
Aston    Imagine having worked your entire career, being an integral portion of an legendary company, but receiving little compensation or recognition for the work done. This is exactly what has been happening to Aston "Familyman" Barrett and other members of The Wailers over the past decades. In several lawsuits filed on behalf of Familyman, against the Bob Marley Estate and Island Music, Familyman is seeking "to set the record straight and to recover what may amount to be tens of millions of unpaid songwriter and artist royalties," according to the official press release, which can be read at the newly re-launched www.wailers.com.

   Familyman has retained the same lawyers who have previously represented lawsuits between Danny Sims against The Marley Estate, as well as Bunny Wailer and the Peter Tosh Estate versus The Marley Estate. Reportedly, Familyman and the rest of The Wailers are upset that over the years, The Wailers' history has been slowly erased from that of Bob Marley. One example of this, according to the press release, is the recent Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award given to Bob Marley, and not The Wailers as a whole. The press release further states that, "We are now actively preparing for a claim to recover sums due, and to be due, to Aston 'Familyman' Barrett, and also to protect his reputation, given that he was an integral part of the whole 'Bob Marley and the Wailers' story."

   You can read more on this topic by reading an interesting article "Wailer Seeks Royalties, Credit From Island Records, Marley Estate." The outcome of these lawsuits should be very interesting, especially considering the ongoing and extensive reissue campaign of Bob Marley & The Wailers' Island Records material.

A REISSUE FIT FOR A TRUE FAN - 
Catch A Fire: Deluxe Edition   Can you remember the first time you heard The Wailers? If you are anything like us, the sound was so fresh and different that it pulled you in and made you want to listen to more. Picking up the recently released "Catch A Fire: Deluxe Edition" double-disc set, brought us this same ecstatic feeling.

   Before you read our review, or any other review about this deluxe edition, go out and pick it up, it is that essential! You might be thinking, how different can the two versions be, the "Unreleased Original Jamaican Versions" versus the "Released Album." In fact, the two are quite different and in many cases sound like alternate albums altogether. From the packaging, to the liner notes, and the music, this release caters to both the die-hard Wailers fan and the newly converted alike.

   The packaging for the "Catch A Fire: Deluxe Edition" is perfect. Those in charge, finally saw fit to re-print the original Zippo lighter cover artwork, giving all fans the ability to own a tiny replica of the much sought after original. The release even went so far as to reprint the 1973 album description which appeared on the back of the Zippo cover, stating that, "The Wailers were formed over ten years ago, in the days of 'ska'..." The release is in the form of a dual digipack, that opens up into four panels, the two outer panels featuring photos of Bob Marley, and the two inner panels that hold the CDs featuring a picture of The Wailers as a whole. The pull-out booklet graced by the later "Catch A Fire" cover with Bob Marley, contains an essay written by Richard Williams, who was head of A&R at Island Records when "Catch A Fire" was originally released. The 28-page booklet also includes lyric translations and several rare photographs of The Wailers. Also included is a listing of the personnel who played on the songs, both for the original Jamaican Versions and the later overdubbed material. The entire digipack slips in and out of a translucent plastic sleeve that protects the Zippo replica.


PACKAGING = 5/5

   Even though the packaging is great, the music itself is by far the most enjoyable part of the release. The "Unreleased Original Jamaican Versions" disc is truly incredible! "Concrete Jungle" starts off both the JA versions and the released album discs, and the JA version includes many extra lines not found in the released version, including Peter Tosh saying the line "grass don't grow" and both Peter and Bunny Wailer harmonizing on "jungle, jungle, jungle" after Bob Marley sings "concrete jungle." Hearing Bunny and Peter harmonize with Bob, which was scarce on the released album, is a true treat. "Stir It Up" sounds like it has Aston "Familyman" Barrett's bass and Carlton Barrett's drums more up front, as can be heard throughout the JA versions disc. It is interesting to not hear Wayne Perkins' guitar work on the JA version of this song, and takes a while to get used to not hearing. "High Tide Or Low Tide" and "All Day All Night" were left off the released album, but found their way onto other releases over the years. Finally though, they have their own place on "Catch A Fire" as they were originally intended by The Wailers. These two songs were like the missing chapters of a classic book, and now the entire story can be told.

   The JA versions of "400 Years" and "Stop That Train" are very similar to those found on the released version. "Baby We've Got A Date (Rock It Baby)" includes extra lyrics in the JA version, as well as the lack of another Wayne Perkins guitar solo. Extra lyrics such as Bob saying, "So long I have waited / For this moment to come / And now you are here / We're gonna to have some fun" further give fans a look at how The Wailers originally wanted the songs to be, instead of Chris Blackwell's afterthoughts. "Midnight Ravers" and "Slave Driver" are also very similar in both versions, with the harmony singing by Bunny and Peter more up-front in the JA version in each song, and the hand clapping symbolizing the crack of a whip is not found in the JA version of "Slave Driver." Perhaps the most drastically different song from the JA version to the released version is "Kinky Reggae," which starts off with studio chatter and a very short acoustic introduction. There are vastly different lyrics like, "Look what you've done, / Under the sun" and "He had a candy tar / All over his candy bar." The JA version sounds a lot like the alternate version that was used in duet form on the "Chant Down Babylon" album. "No More Trouble" does not stray too far in both versions, with the exception of the ending in the JA version. About half-way through the song, Bob breaks into a semi-rap, saying "They say we don't need another little hungry mouth to feed / But what I would say on the double is we don't really need no more trouble / Let's all be trouble free / No more troubles to bother me."


MUSIC = 5/5

   These types of differences that are present on the JA versions disc, portray a more complete version of the "Catch A Fire" album, showcasing the other musicians more, as well as plenty of alternate lyrics and more of The Wailers harmonizing. One thing that was really missed on this deluxe collection, were the instrumental versions from some of these songs, which appeared on the 1973 singles, including "Stop That Train" and "Midnight Ravers." You might be thinking to yourself that you do not need to purchase this "Deluxe Edition," but this collection is the only place where you can find the "Catch A Fire" album as it was originally conceived by The Wailers. If this is any indication of what is to come from the reissuing of Bob Marley & The Wailers' Island catalog, then fans are in line for some truly great material. Finally The Wailers' "Catch A Fire" has received the reissue it truly deserves!

   You can listen to sound samples from the album, as well as purchase the set online. You can expect to pay around $30 for this double-disc set, but luckily the Natty Rebel mailorder service has a huge discount on the set for around $25.

JUNIOR MARVIN FEATURED IN RELIX - 
Relix Magazine   Junior Marvin is the focus of a two-page article in the newest issue of Relix magazine, which details Junior's prolific early career, as well as touching on a wide range of topics, including the first session he did with Bob Marley & The Wailers in February of 1977. The article, entitled "Junior Marvin - Groomed To Wail" is in the April/May 2001 edition of the magazine and is written by Mike Emery. Some of the early biographical information found in the article, can be found on Junior Marvin's official website, but the article elaborates on several issues, especially the tough decision Junior made in choosing to play with Bob Marley & The Wailers versus taking the guitar duties with Stevie Wonder and his band.

   You can read the article in its entirety on the Junior Marvin website, and if this article interests you, pick up a copy of Relix magazine for yourself! You can find more information about Relix magazine at their website, from which we also recently took a snapshot of Junior Marvin's very own photo gracing their main page (see above).

   In other Junior Marvin news, if you have not already visited his official website, you have missed information about Junior's recently born daughter, Nilee, named after the River Nile. Junior also tells The Wailers News that he has been in Brazil, working on a live tribute album to Bob Marley, entitled "Tribute To Bob Marley 20 Years," which should soon be out on Indie Records. Among the top musicians working alongside Junior are Fauzi Beydoun of Brazil's Tribo De Jah, Samuel Rosa of the Skank Band, and many others.

   Finally, there are only a few short months until the launch of Junior's radio show on the satellite radio station XM Radio. Among the other hosts scheduled for the station are Roger Steffens and Dermott Hussey. Listen for that soon!





NAME-THAT-TOSH-ALBUM - 
Peter Tosh   Have you ever come up with the perfect title for an album and wished that someone would listen to your idea? You are in luck, because Roger Steffens is asking for help in naming an upcoming Peter Tosh acoustic/interview album, consisting of about 12 songs plus interview segments. The acoustic songs are from two sessions Peter Tosh did for two radio stations in the late 1970s, with just Tosh and his guitar. Some of the titles already being considered include "Acoustically Speaking," "The Peter Principles," "Word Sound Peter," and "I Am That I Am."

   According to Roger, the title should be succinct and to the point and at the same time describe what the album represents. You can pass along your suggestions for the naming for the upcoming Peter Tosh album, by e-mailing Roger Steffens himself. So put your thinking caps on and come up with the ultimate in creative titles!



THE WAILERS BAND A SUCCESS IN OREGON - 
   The Wailers Band have been embarked on a massive tour of the world, and way back in mid-February, they passed through Eugene, Oregon. Thanks to Theorajah, here is a review of The Wailers Band's February 18th performance at the Wild Duck Musick Hall in Eugene, Oregon.

On February 18th, 2001, a very special show by the Wailers at the Wild Duck Musick Hall in Eugene, Oregon included some very impressive guitar solos and chord work by Al Anderson. I got a chance to have a private discussion with him after the show and found him to be as peaceful and warm in person as he is when he e-mails me with friendly support and philosophical wisdom. In fact it was his wisdom which made me respect him most highly. It was wonderful to feel his spirit with me in person. I was surprised to find he was so humble and so funny. Great sense of humor! The show was a great success, with all my friends gathered around me dancing to the energizing music. I especially liked the conga player, whose addition to the band added just the right accent. The original versions of many of Bob Marley's tunes had congas and little else for drumming at times. And speaking of new versions of his songs, several songs The Wailers performed that night were new arrangements that I liked very much. To me, they gave new meaning to the lyrics.

I think Wya again stole the show, though, with a wild dance he did as he was leaving, all elbows and knees flailing the air. It made him about 5' tall instead of 6'6" (?)as he departed the stage in his usual mad dash to get off first, amazing. Also amazing was the dancing Nesta did, he really, really got into it. He lost himself in Jah that night. Like Marley once said to an interviewer from High Times, the essence of Jah is dance and when you are dancing, you are Jah. That was certainly true for both Wya and Nesta.

   The Wailers Band will be touring the east coast of the United States in April and Europe in May and June, so catch them if you can! Special thanks to Christian Cowlin for passing along the European tour itinerary, which can be viewed on the "2001 tour" section.




ICE EXAMINES ISLAND REISSUE PROJECT - 
Ice Magazine   If you can pick up the March 2001 issue of Ice magazine, you can read a feature article on the massive Bob Marley reissue project, entitled "The King Of Reggae Remembered: Bob Marley Albums Receive The Deluxe Reissue Treatment" and Bob also graces the cover as well. The article reveals several key details about the reissue project, including the special tracks that will appear on the "Burnin'" and "One Love: The Ultimate Bob Marley" releases. The three bonus tracks on "Burnin'" will consist of "Reincarnated Souls," "The Oppressed Song," and "No Sympathy." "Reincarnated Souls" was to be the original title for "Burnin'" way back in 1973, but was unfortunately scrapped from the album, but did turn up as the B-side to the 1973 single for "Concrete Jungle." This song, as well as "The Oppressed Song" both feature Bunny Wailer on lead vocals, while "No Sympathy" shows Peter Tosh taking on lead vocal duties. Bunny Wailer reworked "Reincarnated Souls" and "The Oppressed Song" for his solo debut "Blackheart Man" in 1976.

   The one "previously unreleased" song on "One Love: The Ultimate Bob Marley" TV package, will be "I Know A Place," which did show up on several releases over the recent years. The article as a whole includes an interview with Bill Levenson, the executive producer of the reissue project. Bill Levenson discusses the story behind the recording of the "Catch A Fire" album, insights into the forthcoming reissues, and much more.

   If you head over to Ice Magazine, you may be able to get this issue of Ice free, as part of their sample issue trial. You can also read a selection from the Bob Marley & The Wailers' reissue project article at the Ice website.

WAILERS SHORTS - 
Bob Marley   Who would you think is among the richest deceased musicians of all time? Forbes magazine recently put together a listing of the top money earning celebrities who have passed on. Elvis Presley was number one, earning $35 million last year, while Bob Marley is tied at thrid with Jimi Hendrix, each earning $10 million. Other musicians making the list include John Lennon with $20 million and Frank Sinatra with $6 million.


Apple Ads w/Ziggy Marley   Ziggy Marley is featured in two new commercials, pushing products that include computers and clothing. The first commercial is for Apple computers and their new campaign advertising the ease of being able to create custom CDs on one's Macintosh. The commercial features a group of musicians, all representing tracks on a custom-made CD, also including George Clinton, De La Soul, Smash Mouth, Barry White, and others. You can view the ad, in both long and short formats at Apple's website.

   Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers music is featured in a new commercial for the Gap clothing line, with the Melody Makers' song playing while a lady dances on screen. The decision by the Marley family to continually sell their music to advertise goods is interesting, to say the least. Ziggy and his crew should have visited GapSucks to see what the Gap is really up to in harming people and the earth!


   At this year's induction ceremony for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York on March 19th, Chris Blackwell was inducted as a non-performer. The ceremony aired on VH1 on March 21st, and among the many performances shown, was an all-star rendition of Bob Marley & The Wailers' "Could You Be Loved." Some of the artists performing the cover included Mary J. Blige, Bono, Melissa Etheridge, Paul Schaefer, and others. The cover was simply horrible, sounding off key and the artists missing many of the lyrics to the original song. The rendition also included "Get Up Stand Up" interspersed, but even this could not save the song. It sounded unrehearsed and just plain sloppy. You can read more about Chris Blackwell's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, on The Jamaica Gleaner website.

JUST A PASSING GLANCE - 
   The latest issue of VIBE magazine includes a one-page spread featuring photos taken at the January 13th Rebel Salute concert held in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Among the photos, include a shot of Bunny Wailer shaking hands with Ky-mani Marley with the accompanying caption, "Old-school roots meet new-school reggae. Bunny Wailer - of the late Bob Marley's legendary band the Wailers - and Marley's son Ky-mani bridge the generation gap." There are also photos of Mutabaruka, Everton Blender, Tony Rebel, Joseph Hill, and Luciano. The May 2001 issue should be on newsstands now, or you can order onlline at VIBE's website.

WailersNet - 
   The fantastic website Bob Marley Magazine has been updated for April, and this month it features an interview with Evert Wilbrink, who was the manager/A&R director of Ariola/Arista and Island during the 1970s and '80s. The interview gives a rare insight into the behind-the-scenes actions with Bob Marley & The Wailers. The April update also includes a link to another page with rare photos of Bob Marley & The Wailers being greeted by Prime Minister Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe for the country's Independence celebration which took place 22 years ago this month. It is definitely worth checking out, and the interview can be read in both English and Italian.


The War Album   As we have been covering over the past few months regarding Bruno Blum related releases, you can now purchase both "The War Album" and Bruno Blum's "Nuage d'Éthiopie" online. There are two different sites that are offering the discs for sale, and you can also listen to sound samples of both discs before you order.


   On the 2000 release of the Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers live album, the highlight of the disc was certainly the studio song "I Know You Don't Care About Me" about the death of Amadou Diallo. The guest artists on this song included Bunny Wailer alongside Ziggy and Stephen Marley. You can now view a video for the tune at www.regenerationtv.com, which is actually more like a mini-movie that has the music put to it, since the video does not feature any musicians in it. The video is well worth watching and sheds light on the issue of police brutality, so do not miss it!


   You can read a lengthy interview with legendary guitarist Ernest Ranglin. In the interview, Ernest discusses his work with The Wailers, his early influences, the evolution of Jamaican music, and his latest album "Modern Solutions to Old Problems." The interview is entitled "Ernest Ranglin's Jamaican Jazz," so be sure to read it!
