Year : 1977


A book initialy released o, 1977
10 chapter ,160 pages, soft cover book , a book about Jamaica , Rastafari and Bob Marley.

There is a black and white photo section in the middle that would have been
welcomed to the eyes of any reader in 1977.

The most impressive part of the book, again going off of the fact that is was published
in 1977 are the 3 appendixes in the back.

The first one has the available lp's by Bob Marley And The Wailers.
2 Trojan/lee perry lp's and the islands lp's up to 'Rastaman Vibration'.

The second appendix list unavailable and other recorded tracks.
most of the tracks found on the list either come from the Clement Dodd period
or the jad period.

It is by no means a complete list but very impressive for 1977.

The third and last appendix has other relevant records such as Peter Tosh's 'Legalize It' and
Bunny Wailer's 'Blackheart Man'.
