Rebel Music (Bob Marley and the Wailers album)

Rebel Music is a compilation album by Bob Marley & The Wailers released by Island Records in 1986. It consists of tracks drawn from such albums as Catch A Fire, Natty Dread, Live!, Rastaman Vibration, Babylon By Bus, and Survival, as well as an exclusive remix of "Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Roadblock)" and the first album appearance of 1977 B Side "Roots". The album includes the hit singles "So Much Trouble in the World", "War / No More Trouble", and "Get Up, Stand Up". Some of the vinyl pressings include a looping sound at the end groove of side A, apparently the noise at the ending of Bob Marley & The Wailers's "Satisfy My Soul", released 1978 on the album Kaya by Tuff Gong/Island. The remastered edition of the CD features "Wake Up And Live (Parts 1&2)" as a bonus track. Both parts had previously appeared on either side of a rare single in 1979, here they are mixed together to form one track.
