The Record Plant, December 1973
Exodus “Scratch” Demos, 1977
Two Excellent Live BMW Boots
One more blast of live Bob Marley, including an unreleased show taped at The Record Plant in Sausalito, California, taped somewhere around the same time as the Live At Leeds concert. I’ve seen at least three different dates attributed to this show, so we’ll just say it’s from December, 1973 (see comments). The second unofficial set is comprised of well-recorded studio performances from the Exodus sessions in 1977. They’re called demos, but that’s misleading, as some of the backing tracks sound almost like the official tapes. There are a few sonic issues but they’re very minor. Great stuff, from an album many still consider to be Marley’s best work. (@320/@192)

Hey Good Cap'n, the Record Plant date was actually recorded on Oct. 31, 1973 (Halloween, not that it would have mattered to The Wailers), it was first broadcasted on San Francisco's KSAN FM in Dec. '73
Thanks. That explains (some of) the variety of dates. Recorded Oct. 31st, but not broadcast until either Dec. 1st or 2nd. Maybe some of the tapers were in different time zones, too.
Thanks.

Wow. Astounding. Thanks much.
Hey! Just discovered your blog through the Fuzzy site. Amazing stuff. Thanks for all the Wailers. This was their best period for me, 72-73.
hi,
thanks so much for the scratch demos
ive never heard these before and its excellent
thanks :)
Thought you were lost in the jungle. Glad I found you, again. Have a very nice Thanksgiving.
thank you, w, love this tape with the keys in the front
the story i'd heard about the record plant date was that it was recorded after they got kicked off the opening slot on the sly stone tour (for blowing him off the stage) and they were stranded in sf. the broadcast helped cement their (new) fanbase in the states and become the stars that we now know them to be.
Never heard that one. Thanks.
Great stuff-thanks so much!
