The Studio One album released in 1965 includes the earlier One Love recording. This establishes the earlier recorded version separately from the selected 1977 Exodus remake; session years are not release dates. | Reviewed 2026-10-17
Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The retained 1984 annual entry gives no mix or edition identifier. The selected Exodus recording is documented in 1977, while One Love also has an earlier Studio One recording and later Legend-era issues. The annual year alone cannot identify the selected version, so the proposed link remains provisional.

About Bob Marley & The Wailers
The Wailers' 1973 album Burnin' belongs to the roots-reggae partnership of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Natty Dread followed in 1974 under the credit Bob Marley & The Wailers, after Tosh and Bunny Wailer had left to pursue separate careers. That album introduced the I Threes vocal team of Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt. These changes matter when following the group's recordings: related musicians and similar song titles do not make different lineups or solo releases interchangeable.
