Very cool, and a excellent read. Reminds me that long ago and pre internet I wanted to learn more about Haile Selassie. Interesting connection with Marley. Thanks!

Now you know 2 people who just ordered the album, lol.
Thanks for this, I am a huge Marley fan.

 

[vince666]

love Marley too.
IMO, Bob with the Wailers were just GREAT also while playing live... "Babylon by Bus" comes to mind, which is what i'd call a just perfect live album.

In my current mode of thinking, that’s about five troy ounces of silver.

Bet this album goes up in value more than the silver in 10 years, lol.

That's true but...
The price seems a bit too high for a new vinyl LP and if you buy it to keep it and don't plan to sell it in the future then it doesn't matter if it will go up in value... doesn't it?
I bet that, with some patience, i might find an original first press in great shape for a lot less than that, though, which i bet it will be a great and pristine quality listen anyway, as it was produced when the mastertape was freshly recorded.

But maybe it's just myself who generally prefers to "go fetish" by trying to own old/first presses.

If nobody has the bucks to spend on it, what would be the value then? Silver in itself is money

And your successors won't recognize the value of your record collection. It will go on CL in the free section. Silver and gold on the other hand gets recognized immediately for its value.

Silver, in itself, is a Silver Sammich.............

They used it as seasoning.

Had a kid in grade school that was always chewing the lead pellets from his pellet rifle

And when he got older, he moved on to assembling Dynakits and Heathkits

Didn't they have lead pipe?

 

[Gepetto]

Didn't they have lead pipe?

and lead plates, and lead drinking cups, etc.

They used lead to seal the gaps in the stone of their aqueduct too. Handy stuff!

Well the album arrived today, very well packed and nicely packaged with lots of extra goodies.
First listening impressions are stunning. Dynamics are really good and surface noise is nonexistent, dead quiet between notes. Can’t testify as to the faithfulness to the original master but it sounds fantastic.
