On June 3rd 1977 Bob Marley released one of the most defining, and best selling records of his career. Recorded primarily in London, Exodus came six months after an assassination attempt in Kingston, Jamaica, documenting Marley’s thoughts and feelings over the incident and serving as an aural representation of many Jamaicans discontentment with the political landscape in the island at that time. Featuring some of the reggae legend’s most emotive material, Exodus also captured his well-publicised relationship with Jamaican beauty queen, Cindy Breakspeare.
