Legend - The Best of -- Remastered CD
Bob Marley and the Wailers
2002 Def Jam Records
Amazon.com essential recording
Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot the Sheriff," the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry," or the sheer joy of "Jamming." Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, then Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique, and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. --Chris Nickson

5.1 Bluray
I never paid much attention to Yes until 90210 (when Trevor Rabin took the guitar chair, and MTV played music videos); I do have Fragile on cassette, somewhere. I'm really hearing a lot of things for the first time here, and the acoustic solo Mood for a Day sounds really nice. :music-listening:
I also noticed, reading the liner notes, that if you put this disk in and do nothing, after loading the titles, it will automatically set to DTS HD Master Audio and begin playing; no need to turn on the TV to set everything up. Wish they all did that. :text-bravo:

The Bluray also has the 2002 DVD-A mixes on it, I'm just clicking on it now. It also has:
the original stereo mix
alternate takes
2015 instrumental mix
vinyl transfers
and add'l material
EDIT:
WOW. Quite a difference. The DVD mixes are a bit more compressed, vocals a bit louder, organs much lower, and drenched in reverb. Wilson's mix is drier, and more "present".
And this is cool: you can use the "color" buttons on the remote to switch between LPCM stereo, DTS HD Master Audio, and LPCM Surround, and it changes while keeping its place in the song. Sadly you can't swap between the Bluray and 2002 DVD-A mixes that way, it re-starts from the top of the song list. Still, you can get a good idea of the differences just doing that.
Which do I prefer? Couldn't tell you at this point, and if I had the DVD-A already don't know that'd be worth the extra coin for the Bluray. However, this is no-brainer demo material at the next GTG!
