The Results of the 1980 Jamaican Election

Quote:

In Jamaica, political violence escalated throught the late 70's and Bob Marley himself became a victim in 1977, but survived the shooting to appear at a peace concert at which he stood on stage flanked by the leaders of the rival political factions, Michael Manley and Edward Seaga.

In the run-up to what became the bloodiest election in Jamaican history, in October 1980, there was speculation as to whether Manley, if re-elected, would legitimize the ganja trade to finance his socialist innovations and to repay the country's foreign debts. Instead, Seaga was elected and was able to borrow a further $698 million from the International Monetary Fund, plus $100 million from the US. A condition of the loan was that jamaica accept US Military assistance in eradicating the ganja fields, using flame-throwers deployed from helicopters.

(1981) Bob Marley's Funeral

While flying home from Germany to Jamaica for his final days, Marley became ill, and landed in Miami for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life."[29] Marley received a state funeral in Jamaica on May 21, 1981, which combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari tradition.[30] He was buried in a chapel near his birthplace with his Fender Stratocaster.[31] A month before his death, he had also been awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit.[32]Source

(1975) Lee Perry & the Upsetters - Bush Weed

Revolution Dub is an album by Lee Perry & The Upsetters, released in Jamaica in 1975 in very small quantities. It features radical, groundbreaking drum & bass mixes, sound effects (including bizarre excerpts of British comedy recorded from the radio), heavy bass, vocals by Perry himself, and an early use of a drum machine in reggae. This is some of the earliest available dub material mixed by Lee "Scratch" Perry, who would soon make a name for himself as a dub master with classic, internationally distributed albums such as Super Ape (Island 1976). Other early Scratch groundbreaking dub albums include the fine Rhythm Shower (Trojan). Scratch's first dub album, the 1973 super classic Blackboard Jungle Dub was mixed by dub originator and master King Tubby, who taught Perry a great deal at Dynamic Sound studios before Scratch went out on his own and opened his famous Black Ark Studios in January 1974.Source
