I put together an “alternate version” of the Uprising album from various unreleased demos, rehearsals, dubs, and alternate versions of the tracks.  I love this album, in fact, it may be my favorite Bob Marley and the Wailers’ album, although sometimes I feel it is too polished.  Hopefully, this alternate version will help give you a different perspective on the album.

Many thanks to those who have seeded this music over the years including Dubwise Garage, Chunga, Chico, Librarian, SOT, was1, and the rest I’m forgetting.  Respect to Roger Steffens for sharing this material to begin with.  Please visit www.reggaetraders.net.
