12. Annex 1 – Lost Albums

Annex 1
What is most interesting for the Wailer´s fan, is what to expect from CD releases in the future. Is there still something special to expect? From my opinion it is. It seems possible to compile one more CD with songs from the ska period 1964-1966. In line it would be a nice concept to collect the gospel songs recorded by The Wailers. I read about a rumour that there was an album planned in the mid-sixties. If it don´t exist, now it is possible to consider which songs it would have contained. What is seemingly finally lost is the Lee Perry album from the late seventies. A few tracks appeared, some others didn´t appear until today.

Notes:
If Bob, Peter or Bunny appear on harmonies at
Lee Perry´s “Rub & Squeeze” (1,29)
Roy Richards “Green Collie” (2,05)
the melodica cut to Bob Andy´s “I´ve Got To Go Back Home” (2,52)
King Sparrow´s “Beggars Have No Choice” (2,30)
The Freedom Singers “Have Faith” (2,50)
Bob Andy´s “I Wouldn´t Be A Fool” (3,13)
Jackie Opel´s “I Don´t Want Her” (2,50)
The Soulettes´ “La La Lover” (2,15) or
Alton Peter & Zoot´s “Rude Boy Prayer” (3,19) then these should be added.
If “Ten Commandments (Alternate)” and “Wings Of A Dove (Alterate)” exist without overdubs, the originals should be added.
If Jack Sparrow´s “Bull Whip” and “Wine Woman And Money” would be found, it should be added because of featured Wailers harmonies.
If “Blowing In The Wind”, “Little Boy Blue” or “Sentimental Journey” would not be lost, they should be added.
THE WAILING WAILERS GOSPEL ALBUM
Timothy White, a well-known Marley mentioned in his book ‘Catch A Fire – The Life of Bob Marley’ first released 1983 and second released 1992 a saying of Jackie Mittoo that Bob Marley did record a whole album of gospel tracks. He mentions another saying that Marley did record an album of christmas songs that maybe was released in the mid-sixties in Jamaica. Until now neither a copy of a gospel album nor a copy of a christmas album ever did surface. But such a suggested album would have been possible:
A-Side
Sinner Man, 1966, lead vocals: by Peter Tosh
This Train, 1966, lead vocals: Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer
Tell Them Lord, 1963, lead vocals: Bob Marley
Nobody Knows, 1964, lead vocals: Bob Marley
Amen, 1964, lead vocals: Peter Tosh
B-Side I Left My Sins, 1965, lead vocals: Bob Marley
Let The Lord Be Seen In You, 1965, lead vocals: Bob Marley
Just In Time, 1965, lead vocals: Bob Marley
Sound The Trumpet, 1965, lead vocals: Bob Marley
White Christmas, 1965, lead vocals: Bob Marley
THE COMPLETE BOB MARLEY AND WAILERS 1967-1972
While after the french release ‘The Complete Wailers 1967-1972? a handful of possible adds could be located, it cannot be estimated if some songs will remain unreleased after the current rush of releases on Universal based on the recent ten-years license-deal.
If the third alterate of ‘Guava Jelly’, all ‘Soul Rebel’ alternates, all songs with participation only of Bob or Peter or Bunny will be included, is worth checking.
An info from 1996 tells about 45 unknown songs and 200 acoustic writer demos like ‘Don’t Draft Me’, ‘Get Stoned’, ‘Angel Of Love’, ‘21.000 Miles’, ‘Back Against The Wall’, ‘I’ll Come Back In A Song’, ‘Rescue Me’, ‘Shoot Up The Town’ in the vaults of Danny Sims.

These are the titles confirmed to form a lost Lee Perry album of the late seventies. Over the years songs 01.- 08. are released elsewhere. No further info available, if the songs 09.-13. are recorded or not or if the tape is lost or unfound or put aside.
14. Smile Jamaica (Oct. 1976)
15. Keep On Moving (July / August 1977)
16. Punky Reggae Party (July / August 1977)

25. Don´t Give Up (Rastaman Live Up Version) (mid 1979)
These songs would have been additional songs for possible inclusion to this album. They are Lee Perry productions or co-productions recorded during the same span of time. Seemingly a release of a vocal album and a second album with dubs had been possible.

Gilly Dread, Marley´s personal chef (whatever that means) and owner of I-Kus recording studio tells, Bob attempted reconciliation with Lee Perry in the summer of 1975 and did some studio sessions over a period of three or four sundays with lee Perry´s band, not with The Wailers to record six titles. In line with the later listed six versions of the tracks these would have fit to a fine album of what we now know four songs and their versions. If one of the trade instrumentals is the one mentioned here is unknown. Finally we learn there would be one more vocal track of Bob Marley “Forward On” to look forward to. Maybe this tape isn´t lost, as all the other songs finally appeared. Let´s see if such an album ever will be released.
