Following the assasination attempt in December 1976, Bob and Neville Garrick left Jamaica for Compass Point in the Bahamas, then onto England.
Bob was on a creative high, as though the shooting had only strengthened his resolve; Bob was also now working closely with Tyrone Downie who was becoming more prominent as the group arranger than Family Man had been. By the end of February Bob was ready to lay the tracks down and the group moved to Basing Street to record. Songs had flown out of these sessions, many of them inspired by events around the shooting. The new album was to be called Exodus, decreed Bob, even though that was one of the only songs he hadn't yet written. It has been nearly twenty five years since Bob Marley gave us the gift of Exodus, and album so magnificent in scope that Time magazine named it the album of the century. "Every song is a classic, from the message of love to the anthem of revolution," Time wrote of Exodus. "But more than that, the album is a political and cultural nexus, drawing inspiration from the Third World and then giving voice to it the world over."
