1992 box set by Bob Marley and the Wailers
Songs of Freedom is a four-disc box set containing music by Bob Marley and the Wailers , from Marley's first song "Judge Not", recorded in 1961, to a live version of "Redemption Song ", recorded in 1980 at his last concert.
The song "Iron Lion Zion " was first released on this compilation, in what is often considered the original mix (although the original is said to not have included the harmony vocals from the I-Threes). The single releases (and subsequent compilation releases) use a remix which was created for the single using modern production, which sounds very different.
"Why Should I" was remixed for this compilation and released as a single. The original wasn't released until the JAD/Universal box set Man To Man in 2004. The original was recorded in 1971 and features Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer's backing vocals, which were replaced by The I-Threes on the remix.
It is said to be complementary to the greatest hits compilation Legend , in the sense that any of the tracks with the same names are presented in different versions from the normal single mixes on Legend - as an example see the number of 12" mixes in the track listing below. The exception is the original version of "Get Up, Stand Up ".
