The Marley Family, Island Records and UMe are joining together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Kaya.

Over two CDs or vinyl LPs (available in black and limited edition green), this celebratory edition of the 1978 record will include new mixes by Stephen “Ragga” Marley as well as the original versions of each of Kaya‘s 10 tracks.

According to an official press release, “Stephen’s goal in mixing Kaya 40 was to create a balance that drew heavily from the original versions. Using Bob’s vocals from demos from original Kaya sessions that were recorded at different tempos, Stephen synched the vocals with alternate takes and layered it over different instrumental arrangements.”

Kaya 40 will also be available via digital download, but it will only include Stephen Marley’s versions.
