Rojah Steffens:


some skips, clicks, pops which are supposed to be from the master dat,
lots of white noise


On the second ten-inch reel, there is a great deal of one note doodling,
tuning, etc. But a
couple of very badly recorded, yet fascinating, tunes
are revealed. The first is a bossa nova,
which makes one think that it
was recorded in early 1980, after Bob and Jacob Miller had
returned from
a record promotion trip to Brazil. There are at least two guitarists in
the room,
one of whom lays down a lilting Brazilian bed as Bob sings.

PRAY FOR ME

tell all the
weakhearts
stay away from my door
just can't take your evil no more
cup is full and runneth
over
far as I can see
shally wally wah
did you say your prayer
shall wally way
pray for me
[repeated 4 times]

hey Mr. Klansman get down from the tree
can't stand to see
the suffering of
the majority...

The final song that reveals itself is one that Bob's Rasta lawyer,
Diane
Jobson, says is among her all time favorites of Bob's unreleased
masterpieces, a
political diatribe against the folly- ticians, whom Bob
felt betrayed him at every
opportunity. (Remember his famous line "never
make a politician grant you a favor/they will
always want to control you
forever"? This song could easily be a follow-up.)

CAN'T TAKE YOUR
SLOGANS NO MORE

can't take your slogans no more [repeated 4 times]
wipe off the paint and the
slogans
all over the street
confusin' the people
while the asphalt burns
our tired feet
I see
borders and barriers
segregation and riot
sufferation of the majority
will always be with you
and me...

can't take your slogans no more...
no more sweet talk from the hypocrites...
no
more sweet talk no more fussing
no more sweet talk from the pulpit

Many years ago I told Chris
Blackwell of the existence of these tapes
and urged him to make safety copies on DAT as soon as
possible. It
didn't matter, I said, who owned what. But if the tapes were allowed to
further
decompose, no one would have anything to fight over in the
future. To this day, no such digital
masters have been struck.

CommentThese are known as "The Bedroom Tapes." It is Bob Marley working on new tracks in his mother's house in Jamaica that were never released. Hence, I do not know the names of these songs. This is Bob, a guitar and a 4 track. Nuff said.
