Universal have bought the rights to 211 songs recorded by Bob Marley before he found global fame and they plan to release them on a series of box sets and compilations. The tracks were owned by reggae label JAD and were
recorded between 1967 and 1972. The catalogue includes at least six previously unreleased songs.
Talking about the tracks a Universal spokesman said: "Bob Marley's early
repertoire has been ruthlessly exploited by a variety of backstreet record labels. With an official release fans will get an insight into a young Marley who had street attitude, was influenced by the US civil rights movement and was at the cutting edge of music".
The first release will be a 71-track, three-CD set, which will hit shops in March.
