The album was originally issued only in Jamaica, with the name Soul Revolution Part II on the cover, but some releases had the name Soul Revolution printed on the label, leading to some confusion over the intended title. The album was also released as an instrumental/dub version, called Soul Revolution Part II Dub, which removed the vocals and highlighted the innovative production techniques of Perry. The dub version was very rare and sought-after by collectors, until it was reissued in 2004 as Upsetter Revolution Rhythm.
Many of the tracks from Soul Revolution Part II were later included on the 1973 compilation African Herbsman, which was distributed internationally by Trojan Records. The compilation also added some tracks from the Wailers' previous albums, Soul Rebels and The Best of the Wailers, both also produced by Perry. African Herbsman helped to introduce Bob Marley and the Wailers to a wider audience, especially in Europe, where they began to tour extensively.
Soul Revolution Part II is considered one of the essential albums in the early career of Bob Marley and the Wailers, and a landmark in the history of reggae music. It showcases the creative partnership between Marley, Perry, and the Wailers, who would go on to become one of the most influential and popular musical acts of all time.
