A vintage vinyl record 'Uprising' released by Island Records in 1980. The cover features a red human figure based on Bob Marley with his arms raised high and long hair spreading like roots against the glow of a sunrise. The cover bears a signature and inscription reading 'one love' in black marker in a prominent position.

Dimensions: Sleeve: 12 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. All measurements are approximate.

Note: In 1980, Marley was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but he still completed this album with astonishing creativity. He fuses his thoughts on death, his dedication to freedom, and his criticism of society into his music, making "Uprising" a work that resonates with his personal life experiences. The album established Bob Marley's historical status as the "Godfather of Reggae."
