Exodus is the ninth studio album by Jamaican reggae band Bob Marley and the Wailers, first released in June 1977 through Island Records, following Rastaman Vibration (1976). The album's production has been characterized as laid-back with pulsating bass beats and an emphasis on piano, trumpet and guitar. Unlike previous albums from the band, Exodus thematically moves away from cryptic story-telling; instead it revolves around themes of change, religious politics, and sexuality. The album is split into two halves: the first half revolves around religious politics, while the second half is focused on themes of making love and keeping faith. #

As Marcia Griffiths recalls, Rita Marley’s voice was an ideal match for Bob’s. “Her tone was unique,” Marcia says. “Different from the normal voice. If we are onstage performing with Bob, Rita is the only person who could sing the same thing with Bob, and it’s not clashing. If Judy or I tried that, it wouldn’t be the same. Rita was the only person who could sing the melody with Bob.“- Rolling Stone 2021

The iconic photo of Prince Buster dancing with Brigette Bond was taken at the London Airport on this day, the 25th of February, 1964. The image would be published in a May 1979 issue of Melody Maker and become the inspiration for Hunt Emerson's The Beat Girl, aka the English Beat logo, and quickly become synonymous with Ska.

For more on Brigette Bond watch Joanna Wallace's documentary Blue Beat Baby. https://youtu.be/A7RNzArsQx8
