The "Gypsy Woman" backing vocals in "Baby, We've Got A Date (Rock It Baby)" never fail to pleasantly surpise.

Sure does, but that one is the only one I recognize as a quote from something else, which gives it that little extra push over the cliff.

i haven't really listen to exodus that much apart from the legend songs until lately, but shit it's really stunning. there are so many album cuts across all these records that are just really heavy and rootsy, i've been enjoying these a lot more than the hits. i could listen to minor key reggae forever.
here is "guiltiness" from exodus:

A bunch of you need to know that extra disc of the Catch A Fire reissue is "The Unreleased Jamaican Version" that's more stripped down, and adds "High Tide or Low Tide" and "All Day All Night." Awesome.

I'm pretty sure there was a Tory MP, Teddy Taylor, who was an enthusiastic Marley fan. He was also a fan of corporal and capital punishment and Margaret Thatcher, so it didn't seem a natural choice of listening
