Lost Bob Marley tapes found in a hotel basement

Lost live recordings of a Bob Marley gig have been found in a London hotel basement and are now heading to auction. The 10 analog tapes, which were found by chance after spending 40 years in a damp hotel cellar in a hotel in Little Venice, west London, suffered water damage and mold. However, they were rescued by businessman Joe Gatt, jazz musician Louis Hoover, and sound engineer Martin Nichols. The recordings of gigs at the Rainbow Theater in Finsbury Park, London and the Pavillon Baltard in Paris, include some of the Jamaican reggae legend's biggest hits like 'Is This Love', 'Jamming' and 'No Woman, No Cry'. They will go on auction sale on May 21 at £25,000. Guardian...
