1983 RELEASE BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS-CONFRONTATION GATEFOLD VINYL RECORD 90085-1 ISLAND RECORDS

Confrontation is a roots reggae album by Bob Marley & the Wailers, released posthumously in May 1983, two years after Marley’s death. The songs on this album were compiled from unreleased material and singles recorded during Marley’s lifetime. Many of the tracks were built up from demos. Inside the album sleeve is an artist’s depiction of the Battle of Adowa where Ethiopian forces defeated Italy in 1896. The cover of Confrontation is a reference to the story of St. George and the Dragon. The dragon on the cover represents Babylon, which is being slain by Bob Marley via his music.
Inner sleeve. Upon inspection, the jacket has light shelf wear. The record is in ALMOST NEAR MINT condition.

Jamaican reggae band fronted by Bob Marley but initially formed as The Wailers vocal group, with Peter Tosh & Bunny Wailer, then adding the rhythm section of The Upsetters (Aston "Family Man" Barrett & Carlton Barrett). In 1974, after Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer departures, producer Chris Blackwell renamed the group Bob Marley & The Wailers (even if some previous records were released with this name) and marketed it as a rock band (vocalist + instrumental band). After Bob Marley's death in 1981, The Wailers continue to record with some artists like Alpha Blondy, Joe Yamanaka, Donald And Lulu Davidson or Winston Jarrett. Some members of The Wailers formed The Wailers Band in 1989.
