The remake of Peter Tosh's No Sympathy, originally recorded for Lee Perry about three years previously, is less impressive but still interesting. They include two excellent songs that Bunny re-recorded for his awesome "Blackheart Man" album, Reincarnated Souls and The Oppressed Song, and though they are perhaps inferior to his solo versions, they are still very fine. Two are completely unnecessary inferior alternate mixes/takes of Get Up Stand Up, the other three are evidence of Bob Marley's reluctance to allow his fellow members of the original Wailers trio, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer to play more than a supporting role in the group, with one only issued as a single B-side at the time and the other two not realeased at all for nearly 30 years. The first CD also includes 5 bonus tracks recorded at the same sessions. And apart from all this, it's superbly remastered in this edition, with a bright, punchy sound. And the album lacks the overdubs from white session players found on "Catch A Fire" - it was all recorded (though not mixed) in Jamaica, and though superbly recorded is far rawer than its predecessor. But on the other hand, any album that contains the definitive versions of I Shot The Sheriff, Get Up Stand Up and Burnin' And Lootin' is totally essential. The Wailers' second Island album is arguably slightly inferior to its predecessor, "Catch A Fire", in the song stakes - there is quite a lot of filler, which includes inferior remakes of earlier material such as Small Axe and Duppy Conqueror - although none of it is less than good, there are only three really great tracks here.

The deluxe package also features a full color booklet containing complete lyrics, credits, essay & rare photos. Burnin' Deluxe Edition is packaged in a deluxe 2CD digipak housed within a plastic slipcase.
At Leeds, the Wailers deliver a punchy, soulful set, including four Burnin' highlights, along with the Catch A Fire tracks "Slave Driver," "Stop That Train," "Midnight Ravers," "No More Trouble," "Kinky Reggae" & "Stir It Up." Also included is Peter Tosh's "You Can't Blame the Youth" & a 13-minute rendition of "Lively Up Yourself," an early song that Marley would revive on the following year's Natty Dread album. This concert - one of the Wailers' last shows with Tosh - offers a fascinating glimpse into this otherwise undocumented phase of the band's history. Along with the remastered version of Burnin', Disc One of Burnin' Deluxe Edition features three memorable tracks cut during the Burnin' sessions but not included on the original album - "Reincarnated Souls," "No Sympathy" & "The Oppressed Song," as well as two previously unreleased alternate versions of "Get Up, Stand Up." Disc Two of Burnin' Deluxe Edition features the complete previously unreleased Wailers performance recorded at Leeds Polytechnic on November 23, 1973, near the end of the band's tour of England.
