Superb recording made at the BBC's Paris Theatre in Lower Regent Street, London, which captures Bob Marley and the Wailers on the cusp of global fame. This show was probably the band's first major national radio exposure in the UK. In April 1973 the band had released their first major label album "Catch a Fire" from which eight of these songs are taken. The remaining two would appear on the next album "Burnin'" which was released in October 1973 I've split the announcer's between-song speech (in which he explains the origins of the songs and Rastafarianism as well as introducing the band) into separate tracks so these can be omitted if you want nothing but the music on a play-list.
