Exodus 40: The Movement Continues

Exodus is Bob Marley & the Wailers' ninth studio album. The album was released six months after an assassination attempt was made on Marley while he was in his native Jamaica, which led him to exile in London where Exodus was recorded. The album featured a newer backing band at the time, as the original Wailers disbanded in 1974. Exodus' backing band included brothers Carlton (drums) and Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass), keyboardist Tyrone Downie, percussionist Alvin "Seeco" Patterson, guitarist Junior Marvin and I-Threes backing vocalists Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths and Marley's wife Rita Marley. Ziggy Marley is helming a "restatement" version (CD2). Revisiting his father's original session recordings, he found previously unused and unheard vocals, lyric phrasing and instrumentation. His "restatement" version, dubbed Exodus 40 – the Movement Continues, utilizes his discoveries, which gives the songs new contexts. The Exodus Live set (CD3) was recorded at London's Rainbow Theatre the week of the album's release.
