Oh god no. Redemption Song is just horrible. When I said this was a decent album, I meant tracks 1-9. At least it's better than Stevie Wonder's tepid version I guess. I was in a pub once where someone put that on the jukebox on repeat for about an hour. If I hadn't been there for a friend's birthday I'd have just left.

screw you buddy

Now where did I put my copy of Babylon By Bus? Oh yeah, I sold it at a car boot sale.

Don't modern jukeboxes put a stop to endless repeat stuff yet? I hate that. 😕

I know they make you burn a credit to bump your song up front. I hate that MORE. 😠

Hmmm, every time Marley turns up as WAotD it's always one of his later, crossover reggae-lite attempts. Somewhat disappointing. I think the production on this record almost ruins it, and sounds extremely dated. Still, a decent album.
