  9. Bob Marley and The Wailers, Live!, 1975 on Island / Tuff Gong

    Recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in London, July 1975, and released by Island Records. Fantastic live album.

    The only thing wrong with this album is that isn’t a 2xLP or longer.

    My copy—not sure where I picked this up—is a post 2015 reissue by UMe on Tuff Gong labels, including a fold-out poster.
