This live version is extreamly good quality from the sound recording and the band also the fact its been remasterd makes it alot more crisp.. Many of Marleys live recordings have had poor sound quality and normaly wouldn't be able to be played as background music as it can be hard to make out, but this version is very clear.

This is one of my faourite Marley albums, as it includes alot of my favorite songs and also bring you that little bit closer to the legend. You get a real feel for the crowd and how realy amazing his gigs were. If I was to say one thing about this album its that it belongs on your CD rack. Even if your not that into reggae its great back ground music and just chill music, after all who hates reggae?
Thanks for taking the time to read my opinion I appreciate it, any other questions about this or any other Reggae albums/artists message me! :)

Album Notes
Bob Marley & The Wailers: Bob Marley (vocals, guitar); Junior Marvin, Al Anderson (guitar); Tyrone Downie (keyboards); Wire Lindo (organ, Clavinet); Aston "Familyman" Barrett (bass); Carlton Barrett (drums); Alvin "Seeco" Patterson (percussion). I Threes: Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths (background vocals). Producer: Chris Blackwell, Jack Nuber. Reissue producers: Bill Levenson, Maxine Stowe. Recorded live in Paris, France; Copenhagen, Denmark; London, England & Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Originally released on Island (11). Remastered by Ted Jensen (2001, Sterling Sound, New York, New York). Capturing Bob Marley and the Wailers at their creative peak, BABYLON BY BUS is a righteously grooving collection of recordings from the group's 1978 European tour. An excellent companion to 1975's JAH LIVE, BABYLON BY BUS includes energetic versions of several tracks from the classic 1977 album EXODUS as well as a sprinkling of earlier material. The album is a textbook study in reggae's sultry rhythmic power, and the Barrett Brothers (Aston "Family Man" Barrett on bass and Carlton on drums) demonstrate throughout why they are regarded as one of the most influential rhythm sections of all time. Although the majority of Marley's material is intensely political, the music is so full of light, space and subtle dynamics that the worries of the world seem to be instantly replaced by an overwhelming urge to dance. Often audibly whipping the crowd into a joyful frenzy, Marley and company present a fine example of live music- making at it's purest and most soulful.
