Bob Marleys Jahrhundertalbum Bob Marleys Jahrhundertalbum "Legend" feiert sein 30‐jähriges Jubiläum mit der neuen "Legend 30th Anniversary Edition". Marleys wegweisende Song‐Sammlung erscheint im 5.1‐Surround‐Sound und mit kürzlich entdeckten frühen Studio‐Tracks Bob Marley veröffentlichte sein epochales "Legend"‐Album am 8. Mai 1984. Es dokumentierte das bemerkenswerte Lebenswerk der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeit im Reggae‐Genre. Diese beispielhafte Song‐Sammlung ist der perfekte Einstieg in seine Musik und sie ist essentiell in jeder Reggae‐Sammlung. "Legend" ist immer noch das populärste Reggae‐Album aller Zeiten, ein zeitloser Katalog‐Bestseller, der sich weltweit bisher über 27 Millionen Mal verkauft hat. Am 27.Juni 2014 feiert Universal Music hierzulande das 30‐jährige Jubiläum von "Legend" mit der Veröffentlichung der neuen Legend 30th Anniversary Edition (Island Records/Tuff Gong/UMe), die eine CD und eine Blu‐ray Pure Audio Disc™ enthält. Neben der CD‐Version gibt es dort einen neuen 5.1‐Mix des gesamten Albums, den der Tontechniker, Produzent und Grammy‐Gewinner Bob Clearmountain auf Blu‐Ray Pure Audio Disc™ angefertigt hat. Dieser neue Mix enthält anstelle der bekannten Live‐Version von “No Woman No Cry” die ursprüngliche Studio‐Version des Songs. Dazu kommen zwei bisher ungehörte Alternate‐ Takes von “Easy Skanking” und “Punky Reggae Party”, die kürzlich in Marleys Archiven gefunden wurden. Weitere klassische Marley‐Hymnen des Albums sind “Three Little Birds”, “Get Up Stand Up”, “One Love/People Get Ready” und “I Shot The Sheriff” (mit dem Eric Clapton 1974 einen Nr‐1‐Hit landete), neben “Jamming”, “Exodus”, “Redemption Song” und “Is This Love”. Die Discs stecken in einem 28‐seitigen Buch im Hardcover‐Einband, mit ausführlichen Liner‐ Notes, unveröffentlichten Fotos und Editorials von Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder und Christopher Farley, letzterer ist der Autor des Buchs Before the Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley. Die neue Legend 30th Anniversary Edition erscheint zudem als dreifarbige Vinyl‐Ausgabe in den Farben Gelb, Grün und Rot. Aus der ursprünglichen LP wurde hier eine Doppel‐LP im aufklappbaren Cover, deren HiFi‐Qualität näher an die Original‐Aufnahme heranreicht. 30 Jahre nach seiner Veröffentlichung führt "Legend" immer noch die US‐amerikanischen Charts an. 2002 erreichte es Platz 1 der Reggae‐Charts. 2009, 2012, 2013 und 2014 stieg es auf Platz 1 der Top Pop Catalog‐Charts. 2012, 2013 und 2014 platzierte es sich sogar wieder in den Top‐20 der US‐Popcharts. Die Top‐10 der Top Digital Album‐Charts von Billboard eroberte "Legend in den Jahren 2010, 2012, 2013 und 2014. "Legend" hat die Ehre, das am längsten chartende Album in der Geschichte des US‐ amerikanischen Musikbranchen‐Magazins Billboard zu sein, insgesamt 1085 Wochen (21 Jahre) durchgehende Präsenz und 1160 Einträge in den Katalog‐Charts zeichnen es aus. Bob Marley ist einer der wichtigsten, einflussreichsten Künstler und Kulturbotschafter des 20. Jahrhunderts – eine veritable Ikone. Sein Lifestyle und seine Musik inspirieren Generation nach Generation, sein wertvolles Erbe lebt in seiner Musik fort. In unserer digitalen Ära hat Marley in den sozialen Netzwerken die zweitgrößte Anhängerschar einer verstorbenen Berühmtheit. Seine Facebook‐Seite besuchen über 60 Millionen Fans, was sie in die Top‐25 aller Facebook‐Seiten bringt und in die Top‐10 aller Celebrity‐Seiten. Sein gesamter Katalog hat weltweit Abermillionen Alben abgesetzt. Unter seinen Auszeichnungen befinden sich seine posthume Aufnahme in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1994) und die Songwriters Hall of Fame (2010), ein GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement‐Award (2001), diverse Einträge in der GRAMMY® Hall Of Fame und ein Stern auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame (2001). Die neue Legend 30th Anniversary Edition erweitert und beleuchtet nun ein Album des Reggae‐Superstars, das zum Soundtrack und essentiellen Begleiter jeder Generation – von den 1980ern bis heute – geworden ist. www.bobmarley.com www.facebook.com/BobMarley Blu‐Ray Pure Audio Disc™ TRACK LISTING: 1.

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • Punky Reggae Party
    Punky Reggae Party Ideologisk och musikalisk jämförelse av reggae och punk Linus Kallin C-uppsats 2011 Institutionen för musikvetenskap Uppsala universitet Abstract Uppsatsens syfte är att skapa förståelse för musikstilarna reggae och punk och deras respektive subkulturer. Detta genomförs genom att utforska deras ideologier och se hur dessa speglar sig i musiken för att sedan jämföra och analysera dem med fokus på klass och ras. Uppsatsens fokus ligger på musikerna och musiken snarare än andra delar av subkulturen. Den störta likheten mellan de båda subkulturerna var motståndet mot överheten. Detta speglar sig i deras kläder, attityd och musik på mer eller mindre subtila sätt. De var även mycket mer klass- och rasmedvetna än de flesta andra populärmusikgenrer och subkulturer vid denna tid. Båda var relativt enkla att spela och således anpassade för folk utan lång musikalisk utbildning. Det som skiljer dem är främst musiken. Reggaens disciplinerade, bakåtlutade gung mot punkens frenetiska, spretiga skrammel. Av olika anledningar sågs genrerna som tydligt ”svarta” respektive ”vita”. Även religionens roll i subkulturen är en stor olikhet då reggaen ofta var tungt religiös medan punken snarare var irreligiös. INNEHÅLLSFÖRTECKNING 1.

  • Bob Marley – Primary Wave Music
    BOB MARLEY facebook.com/BobMarley instagram.com/bobmarley/ twitter.com/bobmarley Imageyoutube.com/bobmarley not found or type unknown bobmarley.com open.spotify.com/user/primarywavemusic/playlist/7nKdMQsvQzxa8MVF3BdD8f Robert Nesta Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) Given the image of him as a smiling, joint-smoking peacenik that has proliferated since his death in 1981, it’s easy to forget just how angry Bob Marley was. His music spoke to colonialism (“Small Axe”), poverty (“Them Belly Full [But We Hungry]”), the necessity of achieving political agency (“Get Up, Stand Up”), and the challenge of exercising it (“Burnin’ and Lootin’”) with a righteousness and frustration that made him as much a figurehead to punk rock as to the reggae he helped export to the world. He may have been ambivalent about politics (he once said it was pretty much the same thing as church—a way to keep people ignorant), but it wasn’t because of their underlying possibilities; it was the way the political system had been twisted by the tyranny and greed of people in power that troubled him. And if his music sounded sweet and made you want to dance, it’s because, as his sometime publicist Vivien Goldman once put it, he knew that if he hooked you with the melody, you’d have to listen to what he had to say. Born in 1945 in Nine Mile, a rural village about an hour and a half outside Kingston, Marley formed The Wailers with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in his late teens, thickening from cheerful R&B-based ska to the more rhythmically substantive sound of reggae.
