Here we have yet another time capsule that captures the “world-a-reggae” according to Doctor Dread & RAS Records circa 1982.  Included in this newsletter:

  • One year after Bob passes on, a wonderful birthday celebration for Bob Marley in Nine Mile planned and catered by Rita Marley.  Wailers play live for a small crowd of invited guests.
  • Dennis Brown, Third World, Max Romeo, and Peter Tosh perform live in Rochester, NY.  Yellowman plays Jamaica.
  • New albums by Lone Ranger, Sammy Dread, and Mystic Revelation of Rastafari.
  • Rockers movie review…
  • Rare interview with former Clarendonian and RAS Records recording artist Freddie McGregor, who talks of his tour which just came to a close.

Many thanks to Doctor Dread for graciously donating this lost piece of reggae history to the MIDNIGHT RAVER REGGAE ARCHIVES!
