Bob Marley Album Appraisal

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend: Deluxe Edition (The Definitive Remasters)

This item is a compact disc (CD) from the Bob Marley & The Wailers remastered series, specifically identified as a 'Definitive Remasters' version of the critically acclaimed 'Legend' compilation. The physical object is housed in a standard clear plastic jewel case, which is shown in an open position. The cover art insert features a deep navy blue background with a gold foil-stamped Lion of Judah, a significant cultural and religious symbol in Rastafarianism. The CD surface itself is finished in a uniform gold-tone matte color, accented by a small Lion of Judah logo and text reading 'Bob Marley & The Wailers' on the left side of the center spindle. A distinctive design element is the colorful collage of photographic imagery visible behind the clear disc tray, which includes historical photos of Marley and Rastafarian colors (red, gold, and green). The top of the rear insert, visible through the hinge, carries a gold banner identifying the series name. Condition-wise, the jewel case shows minor surface scuffing characteristic of age and handling, but the internal artwork and the surface of the disc appear to be in very good to near-mint condition with no visible scratches or UV fading. This specific edition suggests a release date from the early 2000s when Universal Music/Island Records issued the digitally remastered deluxe sets.
