Recorded in one of Bob’s girlfriend’s houses this tape includes many songs that Bob never released and some that would become some of his most famous classics.
FYI: Yvette Crichton is the last woman with whom Bob is officially recognized as fathering a child. Out of their union was born Makeda Jahnesta Marley in 1981. By 1992, Makeda was a regular at Rita’s house and later became a beneficiary of the Marley estate, Bob on this tape also composes some of Jammin as well as a very early rendition of Easy Skanking.

I’m enjoying hearing these interviews, mixed with so much important unheard music, done several months ago. Allan did a great job with probing questions. I have a couple of emendations to some things written in the explanatory sections of the three shows’ notes. The announcer at the Roxy ’76 concert was the “tour” manager at the time, Tony G.
Yvet’s tape was most likely recorded in late ’76 in the first of two houses that Bob provided for his mother in Miami, not – according to her – in her own home.
Nice job, bredren!
