Confrontation is the twelfth studio album by Bob Marley & the Wailers and the first album released posthumously in May 1983, two years after Marley's death. The songs on this album were compiled from unreleased material and singles recorded during Marley's lifetime. Many of the tracks were built up from demos, most notably 'Jump Nyabinghi' where vocals from the I-Threes were added, which were not there when Marley released the song as a dubplate in 1979. In addition the harmony vocals on 'Blackman Redemption' and 'Rastaman Live Up' are performed by the I-Threes in order to give the album a consistent sound – on the original single versions they are performed by The Meditations. The most famous track on the album is 'Buffalo Soldier.'
The album cover depicts Bob Marley taking the role as the military saint Saint George slaying the dragon as a symbol of evil. Perhaps not coincidentally, this motif was also displayed on the reverse of the imperial standard of Rastafari icon Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, though the direct model for the album art is a British recruitment poster from World War I. Inside the album sleeve is an artist's depiction of the Battle of Adowa where Ethiopian forces defeated Italy in 1896.

Songs of Freedom is a four-disc box set containing music by Bob Marley and the Wailers, from Marley's first song 'Judge Not', recorded in 1961, to a live version of 'Redemption Song', recorded in 1980 at his last concert.
The song 'Iron Lion Zion' was first released on this compilation, in what is often considered the original mix (although the original is said to not have included the harmony vocals from the I-Threes). The single releases (and subsequent compilation releases) use a remix which was created for the single using modern production, which sounds very different.
Bob Marley Confrontation Full Album
'Why Should I' was remixed for this compilation and released as a single. The original wasn't released until the JAD/Universal box set Man To Man in 2004. The original was recorded in 1971 and features Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer's backing vocals, which were replaced by The I-Threes on the remix.
Bob Marley And The Wailers Confrontation
It is said to be complementary to the greatest hits compilation Legend, in the sense that any of the tracks with the same names are presented in different versions from the normal single mixes on Legend - as an example see the number of 12' mixes in the track listing below. The exception is the original version of 'Get Up, Stand Up'.
