Lost recordings of Bob
Marley have been restored after it was found in a damp hotel basement in
London.
The tapes are the
original, high-quality live recordings of the reggae legend's concerts in
London and Paris. Tracks include 'No Woman No Cry', 'Jamming' and 'Exodus.'
The recordings are from concerts at the Lyceum in London (1975),
the Hammersmith Odeon (1976), the Rainbow, also in London (1977), and the
Pavilion de Paris (1978).
According to a BBC
report, they were found in a run-down hotel in Kensal Rise, northwest London,
where Bob Marley and the Wailers stayed during their European tours in the
mid-1970s. They were said to be discovered when Joe Gatt, a Marley fan and
London businessman, took a phone call from a friend, who had found them while
doing a building refuse clearance .
Bob Marley, who died in
1981, would have been 72 yesterday, Febuary 6, 2017.
