4-Nov-02

Bob Marley and the Wailers ""The Best Of The Early Years"" will be released for the first-time-ever on DVD-Audio by Silverline Records on November 5, 2002. The album, released for the first time in 5.1 surround sound, illustrates the developing talents of a man who rose from the ghettos of Kingston to become the Third World's first international superstar.Bob Marley's role in the global success of Reggae music is nothing short of profound. His innovative fusion of the raw sounds of music borne of his humble beginnings in Kingston with sophisticated western pop and soul stylings created a unique brand of Reggae that took the music world by storm. Such is the extent of his influence that today, some twenty years since his tragic passing, his music is as popular as ever.John Trickett, Chairman of the 5.1 Entertainment Group says: ""DVD-Audio accentuates the amazing sound of Reggae in a whole new dimension. The music literally comes to life. The bass groove that's so critical to the genre is dramatically enriched in the 5.1 format through the inclusion of the subwoofer. Silverline Records is thrilled to release ""The Best Of The Early Years"" on DVD-Audio.""""The Best Of The Early Years"" was produced by Lee Perry, one of Reggae's most towering figures. Together Perry and The Wailers created what has become one of the most formative Reggae releases in history. Due to the fact that a majority of the original masters were recorded in mono and originated from a variety of sources, a more intensive process was required. In order to preserve the highest quality, 5.1 Mastering Engineers transferred all of the masters to one single high-resolution digital platform. The team spent over 4 months meticulously restoring the integrity of the original mixes. The final step was the creation of 5.1 surround mixes.This exciting collection features Bob Marley's early seminal work from the late sixties, along with the best collaborations with the legendary Lee ""Scratch"" Perry. Songs included on the disc include ""Soul Shakedown Party,"" ""Sun is Shining,"" ""Duppy Conqueror,"" ""Small Axe,"" ""African Herbsman,"" ""Trench Town Rock,"" ""Lively Up Yourself,"" ""Try Me,"" ""Soul Rebel,"" ""Mr. Brown,"" ""Don't Rock The Boat,"" ""Dreamland,"" ""Kaya,"" ""Keep On Moving,"" ""Concrete Jungle,"" ""Keep On Skanking,"" ""Natural Mystic,"" and ""I Know A Place.""The DVD-Audio disc plays on all DVD players and contains bonus features including 24/bit/96 kHz DVD-Audio and 24/bit/48 kHz Dolby Digital 5.1 options, Stunning 5.1 surround sound, Liner Notes, Scrapbook and Artist Photos.Silverline Records, the home of DVD Music, is a division of the 5.1 Entertainment Group, a vertically integrated music company which owns the immergent, Silverline, MyUtopia and Electromatrix record labels, 5.1 Production Services and 5.1 Music Publishing.
