NATTY DREAD BOB MARLEY RAR UPGRADE
This is an upgrade to that, despite a few small flaws a tiny cut after a minute and an area of tape damage during "Get Up Stand Up" but only for a few seconds. I've heard a few versions of this in the past and prior to hearing this, the best was the 24-bit Dubwise source.

Paul’s Mall and the Jazz Workshop, located on Boylston Street, was a popular venue from it’s opening in 1963 until it closed in 1978. One show followed in Birmingham before finishing this short visit to England in Manchester on July 20. Only four days later, the group were in London for the previously mentioned Lyceum shows.

One night at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland followed before finishing this North American leg with a five night run at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. Ten consecutive days in California followed, beginning on July 4 with a four-night stand at the Boarding House in San Francisco.

The simple appeal of words like these from 'Redemption Song' – 'Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery/None but ourselves can free our minds' – reached out to all, required no religious obeisance and confirmed his position as a transcendent global statesman.The 'legendary' Lyceum show in July dominates the 1975 tour, recordings of both dates are now available on official release. He had switched from the hard line Nyabinghi Rastafari to the far more all-embracing Twelve Tribes – the former was strictly black, the latter offered a proto-hippie rainbow culture approach – which suggests that no matter its visibility and the attraction of Rasta's counter-cultural symbols – the locks, the spliffs – the core message was universal, about human rights, fairness, dignity, rather than doctrinal or dogmatic. He also, of course, was the global symbol for his religion, Rastafarianism. He was driven to take his message – of the need to struggle against hypocrisy and corruption, to stand up for yourself and combat oppression – to a global audience.
