Rastaman Vibration' is a roots reggae album by Bob Marleu and The Wailers released in 1976.It captures the last moments of Marleu's tenure as Jamaica's folk hero before he developed into a worldwide superstar. To those with their ear to the ground, he was already a giant, but it wasn't until the following year that those slower off the mark were to latch on to his energy.For the 'Rastaman Vibration' album Marleu assembled what many fans believe to be his finest Wailers band. The album was a great success, becoming the first (and only) Bob Marleu release to reach the top ten on the Billboard 200 charts, in addition to releasing Marleu's most popular US single ('Roots, Rock, Reggae' was the only Bob Marleu single to reach the Billboard Hot 100 charts). Among the 10 tracks that make up this record are several bone fide classics;. The opening 'Positive Vibration' and 'Crazy Baldhead' .The album closes with two of Bob's most militant recordings; 'War' , with a lyric based on the speech of HIM Haile Selassie, and 'Rat Race', which addresses the degradation of humanity in political schemes. Synthesizers are featured prominently on this album, adding a breezy embellishment to otherwise hard-driving songs with strong elements of rock guitar.180 grams audiophile vinyl.
