snoop1130 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Lost Bob Marley live recordings rescued from hotel basement by Mark Brown Bob Marley at the Rainbow theatre in Finsbury Park. Photograph: Graham Wiltshire/Redferns Live recordings of Bob Marley and the Wailers, which were found by chance after spending 40 years in a damp hotel basement, are to appear at auction. The reel-to-reel analogue tapes were recovered during the clearance of a hotel in Little Venice, west London, but, with water damage, mould and grime oozing out, they looked beyond repair and were going to be binned. But after a two-year restoration by a sound engineer, Martin Nichols, the 10 tapes will be auctioned off next month. The recordings were of 1970s gigs at the Lyceum theatre in the West End of London, the Rainbow theatre in Finsbury Park, and the Pavillon Baltard in Paris.

Quote The tapes, with digitally restored audio, are being sold by the specialist auction house Omega in Merseyside, in three lots on 21 May. Each has a low estimate of £25,000 and the auctioneer Paul Fairweather predicted worldwide interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
