comments:
This was almost certainly the first time I ever heard a Bob Marley
concert, probably the first reggae show I ever heard, and the same
may well be true for many others, too. This is the BBC broadcast, the
very beginning of the opening announcement is missing but it doesn't
seem like it's missing much because it starts with the announcer
saying: "Here's Bob Marley & the Wailers with a Rastafarian chant"...
and the opening song begins. There is a tape flip just before
the last song, Kinky Reggae but you probably won't even notice that in
this torrent. All the songs and between song announcer dialogue are
complete. The reception is clean and the sound of this is
excellent FM stereo, recorded from a broadcast on WBCN in the
late 1970's (probably 77 or 78). I know this show was previously posted
here on dime but I had to delete my DL of that one immediately because
it failed my standard for clipless torrents. the audio files were solidly
clipped throughout the concert and I couldn't even listen to it.
This one comes with the Glasnost Radio Productions assurance that it is
not clipped, pegged, glitched or gapped, and sounds like an FM show should
sound. This was in the day when BBC concerts were broadcast on vinyl
and it has great stereo seperation, an art often lost in more
recent FM broadcasts. WBCN had a good turntable, and I didn't hear
any scratches or skips in this broadcast (which did happen on occasion
in some of the recorded concerts). This is good vintage Marley,
and probably the best quality yet posted of it. I rarely played this
thing because it's on 2 tapes and for a long time I couldn't find it,
but this torrent comes entirely from my master cassettes, making this
a 3 step torrent from glasnostrd19 to Marley nation.
This one is my oldest, but probably also the best quality recording I
have of BMW that is suitable for upload since it
is my only Marley master. I don't remember which deck I had for this one,
I've been through alot of cassette decks, especially before 87,
but it was a decent one (definitely long before I got a Naka.)
