Originally released as the B-side of ‘Jamming’ in 1977, the song remains a sought-after fan favorite.

It also notably appears in its extra-rare 12-inch dub version on the 2024 limited edition of Bob Marley’s ‘Exodus’. Cameroonian graphic artist Maxime Manga directed this captivating visual. Bringing the song to life, the clip threads together classic photos of Bob Marley with stunning performance footage culled from a Boston concert in 1978. Animation accents these vignettes as the editing matches the flow of the vocals and groove over the course of almost seven breezy and blissful minutes. Kicking off the summer, it seamlessly translates the vibe of ‘Punky Reggae Party’ to the screen. To celebrate the opening of the blockbuster biopic Bob Marley: ‘One Love unveiled the ‘Exodus’ Limited Edition earlier this month. It features the album in its original cover design as seen in the film, along with an exclusive 10” LP of rare bonus tracks and an essay by Jamaican historian Herbie Miller. For the first time, this all-new package is also encased in a gatefold design. Meanwhile, Bob Marley: ‘One Love’ is available on all streaming platforms and on DVD and Blu-Ray. The legacy of ‘Exodus’ extends beyond genres, eras, and continents, whose impact propelled Third World culture and politics into the global spotlight.

“It is a timeless document that publicly reveals the contemplations and reflections on the life of one of the 20th century’s most revered artists and revolutionaries” Miller writes in the new liner notes. “It shows Bob’s fears and vulnerability, his steadfast commitment to making humanity as equitable and ideal as imaginable and spreading his Rastafari spirituality to the four corners of the earth.”

Released on vinyl for the first time in decades, the 10” includes dub versions of ‘Exodus’, ‘Jamming’ and ‘Punky Reggae Party’ – plus the rare ‘Roots’ first issued as the B-side of ‘Waiting In Vain’.
