"The Master Has Come Back" was the second international single from Damian Marley's "Welcome to Jamrock" album, while "Road to Zion" was released in the U.S..

In 1976, Bunny Wailer released his solo album Blackheart Man featuring a song called "Bide Up". It is no coincidence that the chorus ("The master has come back"), lyrics ("for the dark clouds to bring rain, then comes the sun to shine again"), and the general sense of the song reappear on Damian's version. Bunny being the only living member of the original Bob Marley and the Wailers, his closeness with the Marley family is evident.

The single was played on radio and has charted in the UK, but there is no video for it.
