On May 11, 1981, at the age of 36, the man who would permanently put Jamaica on the map and introduce reggae to the world, a genre now prominent in the vast family of popular music, passed away. This year, he would have celebrated his 75th birthday in a cloud of ganja. To mark the occasion, all the albums that cemented Bob Marley's legendary status are being re-released as Half Speed Masters.
Abbey Road Studios undertook a colossal effort, working from the original master tapes, to refine the sound and offer fans an even more polished rendition of the master's work. From *Catch A Fire* to *Confrontation*, including the legendary live albums *Babylon By Bus* and *Live!!!*, audiophiles can rediscover the boss's work.
