Since Sanctuary was bought by Universal, Trojan and Island are now owned by the same company : Universal Music Group.
So it is only Island's release, not Trojan's. Only it includes material previously issued under Trojan's imprint.
Nearly all classsic Lee Perry's productions and almost all Bob Marley material are now owned by one company !

So, I guess that means that the next Bob Marley best-of will have Soul Rebel and the studio version of Trenchtown Rock on it...
