BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS' RASTAMAN VIBRATION Gets Salaam Remi Remix

Fifty years after the release of Bob Marley & The Wailers' landmark album Rastaman Vibration, the celebration continues with a new interpretation of one of its most enduring tracks.

Available now, producer Salaam Remi's remix of 'Who The Cap Fit' brings a new sonic perspective to the Marley classic while honoring its enduring message. 'Who The Cap Fit (Salaam Remi Remix)' is available digitally worldwide now via Island/UMe.

Originally released on April 30, 1976, Rastaman Vibration became a defining moment in Bob Marley's career. The album marked his first Top 10 album in the United States, introducing an even broader audience to his singular blend of reggae, spirituality, and social commentary. Featuring classics including 'Roots, Rock, Reggae,' 'Positive Vibration,' 'Crazy Baldhead,' 'Johnny Was,' and 'Who The Cap Fit,' the album remains one of the cornerstones of Marley's catalog.

Produced during a pivotal creative period between the acclaimed Live! and the iconic Exodus, Rastaman Vibration was recorded in Kingston, Jamaica, and mixed in Miami, Florida by Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. Upon its release, the album was met with widespread critical acclaim and was followed by extensive tours throughout the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom, further cementing Marley and The Wailers as one of the world's most influential live acts. Performances from that tour can be heard on the previously unreleased live album Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, available to order here.

As part of the album's 50th anniversary celebration, Rastaman Vibration was also recently reissued as a special limited-edition vinyl release. The collectible edition features a textured LP jacket that recreates the original hemp-inspired packaging and is pressed on exclusive Green Swirl vinyl, commemorating one of the most important albums in reggae history. The reissue can be ordered here.

Salaam Remi adds a new chapter to the album's legacy with his remix of 'Who The Cap Fit.' Known for his work with artists including Nas, Amy Winehouse, The Fugees, and others, Remi brings his distinctive production approach to one of his personal favorites from the Marley catalog.

'Just as many chunes the great Bob Marley left with us, 'Who The Cap Fit' has lyrics you didn't know you needed to hear until you do,' Salaam Remi shares. 'It's one of my favorite Marley songs, and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to remix it!!!'
