AFRICA UNITE: The Singles Collection is a compilation album written and performed by the band Bob Marley and the Wailers. The album contains singles from 1970–1984 and includes three remix track with special guests will.i.am, Eric Clapton and Ashley Beedle. In the year Bob Marley would have turned 60, the past, present, and future of his music are celebrated - not only with the first Bob Marley & The Wailers greatest-hits package to include both his early sides and his Island Records hits, but also a new recording and two new remixes. Along with 17 vintage tracks, AFRICA UNITE: The Singles Collection spotlights "Slogans," the first new official Marley track released in more than a decade. It is believed Marley recorded the song in a Miami bedroom in 1979. The tapes were kept at Marley's mother's house and in 2004 the reggae legend's sons Stephen and Ziggy revisited the acoustic demo. In 2005, Stephen overdubbed the tracks with other instruments, including guitar by Eric Clapton. Stephen and Ziggy produced "Slogans" specifically for this release. Another new recording is a remix of "Africa Unite," whose original was heard on the 1979 album Survival. The song is presented here in an anthemic remix by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, who was personally invited to create the remix by Rita Marley, Bob's wife. Also new is the Ashley Beedle remix of "Get Up, Stand Up vs. Jamrock," a mash-up of Bob's classic and "Welcome To Jamrock," the 2005 hit from youngest son Damian. AFRICA UNITE: The Singles Collection commemorates Marley's life on record just as the 2005 Africa Unite concert in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on his 60th birthday (February 6) commemorated it on stage. Bob Marley's Island Records material and pre-Island stuff has generally been split apart not just because of label contracts but also because Marley's earlier work is more steadfastly in the ska, rocksteady or roots reggae vein, while his later material had that well-defined reggae sound with a shot of rock guitar added. A de facto expanded version of the hugely popular Legend hits package, AFRICA UNITE pads the those hits with a seminal early tune ("Soul Rebels") as well as live or earlier recorded versions of classics like "Lively Up Yourself" and "Concrete Jungle." The 20-song set also adds the previously unreleased "Slogans," as well as two modern remixes. As a one-CD overview of an artist who was much more than a reggae hits machine, AFRICA UNITE works far better than Legend. But really, it only scratches the surface of the Marley legacy, particularly in regard to his formative but ultimately excellent early material.
