Reggae's living legend and survivor of The Wailers Fame consisting of Robert Nesta Marley O.M., Winston Hubert McIntosh, Neville O'Riley Livingston C.D. pka Bunny Wailer has on behalf of Tuff Gong Records Ltd and The Wailers, been involved in the process of reclaiming the copyrights and sound recordings in over 1300 Wailers Songs from 1962 to the present, intentionally to compile and represent a series of Luxury Collector’s Edition of Boxed Sets titled ‘The Wailers Legacy Series’.
Volume 1 of the Series which incorporates 117 Songs of The Wailers along with Musically Speaking Volume 1, 2 & 3 a professional history of The Wailers written and narrated by Bunny Wailer is currently in the market, compiled during and over the period from 1995 to its release in 2005.
This coincides with the 35 Years expiration period of copyrights that allows for artists since 2003 to reclaim ownership of their songs ahead of the 50 Year expiration of associated rights in sound recordings, when they go into Public Domain.
It also stands to clarify the failure of the Marley Estate in their attempt to reclaim and revert the rights of Bob Marley & The Adopted Wailers in the recent lawsuit filed in the New York Southern District Court against UMG which ruling is questionable by Bunny Wailer, the survivor of The Wailers as it concerns Work For Hire.
