Background

Released in 1998–2003, this 220-track series revealed over one hundred rare Bob Marley & the Wailers recordings to the world, including major songs like "Selassie Is the Chapel", and many of them previously unreleased, such as "Rock to the Rock". Many of the rarest selections came directly from Roger Steffens' huge collection. Co-produced with partner Bruno Blum, the series revived the JAD label, a small company that had signed an exclusive contract with Marley and his wife Rita as well as original Wailers member Peter Tosh in 1967. Although many of the recordings have since been available on various compilations, the quality of the original ten releases, which include extensive liner notes and rare contemporary photographs, remains unmatched.
