Background
Recorded at at Harry J's, Kingston, Jamaica and Island Studios, Basing Street, London, England between January & April 1977. Marley decided on the name for the album before he had written the title track. Perhaps he decided on "Exodus" to reflect the fact that he had just left Jamaica for London after an attempt on his life on December 4, 1976. This album cemented Marley's international reputation, and according to bobmarley.com, Time magazine named it "album of the century".
