Rastaman Vibration was the album that broke Bob Marley & The Wailers in the United States: it reached the top 10 of the Billboard album chart, something no other Marley album managed in his lifetime, and Roots, Rock, Reggae became his only American hit single. The album originally came out in 1976, recorded in Kingston and mixed in Miami, and also holds Positive Vibration, Johnny Was, Crazy Baldhead, Who the Cap Fit, and Rat Race. War sets a speech Haile Selassie gave to the United Nations in 1963 to music almost word for word.

This edition is an LP on 180 gram vinyl from the Back to Black series.
