Soul Revolution was another early album from the pre-eminent Jamaican reggae group The Wailers fronted by Bob Marley. They were little known outside their own country at this time.
“The songs here are of such a high standard that it would honestly serve as a more accurate ‘Best Of’ than Legend. There is a reason Bob would end up re-recording (inferior) versions of most of these tracks on later albums. He was an incredibly prolific songwriter in his younger days.”
“This is pretty much a perfect album for any reggae fan. All the songs are great and there a couple that I can't get out of my head with their melody. If you want an album to blast on a sunny day then you have it right here; give it a spin and enjoy.” “I don't know how to accurately describe the blissful emanations inflicted so lovingly by this LP. All the songs are great - so chilled out and warmed up, so open and peaceful. This is a must have reggae LP, and I would say a must have album in general. It's hard not to dig Bob Marley because his values are so open and unassuming, and his music so warm and friendly.”
“The melodies are truly Bob at his best. I walk around all day singing songs from this album. I can’t get them out of my head. The music is chilled yet at the same time very danceable.”
“This album was only released in Jamaica as it seems that Lee Perry and The Wailers were fine tuning their skills for what was about to come. This in no way diminishes the impact of the album, the songs are still very powerful and lyrical masterpieces, and the vocals are exceptionally strong.”
“It's a breezy chilled out stripped down reggae masterpiece filled with awesome versions of fantastic songs. If you are just looking for the hits then this may not be what you want since there weren't really any huge singles off of this one. Still if you give it a chance it's extremely likeable, and the songs are every bit as good as his hits, in fact this is a great step for those looking to expand their Marley collection.”
“The Wailers early stuff is by far there best. It isn't overproduced like most of their later albums. In fact, it's hardly produced at all. But that dirty, poor sound quality gives this wonderful music a distinctive and charming sound.”
