A landmark reggae album

Burnin' helped propel The Wailers to international recognition. “Get Up, Stand Up” became an enduring protest anthem, while Eric Clapton's later recording of “I Shot The Sheriff” reached number one in the United States. The album combines socially conscious lyrics and spiritual themes with powerful vocal harmonies and the distinctive rhythmic foundation of Jamaican reggae.

Several tracks are new recordings of earlier Wailers material. “Put It On”, “Duppy Conqueror” and “Small Axe” demonstrate how the group developed its early Jamaican repertoire into the direct and internationally resonant sound of Burnin'.

What is a Hybrid-SACD?

A Hybrid-SACD contains two separate layers. The high-resolution DSD layer is intended for SACD players, while the standard CD layer can be played on virtually any conventional CD player. This combines broad playback compatibility with the option to enjoy the high-resolution stereo SACD master.
