Bob Marley

studio rehearsals

at Tuff Gong Studios

Kingston, Jamaica

unknown date in 1979

soundboard tape, unknown generation

About a month ago a friend of mine handed me some reggae recordings on old cassettes belonging to his roommate, and asked me to transfer any that could still be played – including this tape, labeled “Marley rehearse ’79” – which turns out to be the “Survival” rehearsals at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica in 1979.

This appears to be band rehearsals without the Wailers’ back-up singers; the backing vocals are all males and off-mic.

This recording is circulating in various forms.

Not including is my copy of a badly-distorted and muffled “Ride Natty Ride”

tracklist:

reseeded tracks:

T1 01 Could You Be Loved (take1) – 01:45
