Wanted Dread Or Alive which I own...

Yeah, I have that one and Mama Africa. I had a really nice compilation album but that disappeared with all of my Bob Marley VHS tapes.

Not sure which album to get next.

i heard a story that Tosh used to hate Bob Marley ? with white broads, but wouldnt say ? when dude was around

and folks would always tell Bob about this and he would just laugh it off

Yeah, I heard he was carrying on about how he was going to confront Marley and going in on one of those great Tosh speeches and when Marley came into the room he was silent. When Bob was told about it he was just like "Wha? Peter fussin'? You don't seh."

I love this speech here, especially near the end:

Tosh is a legend, there are lots of people in Jamaica who feel Tosh is better than Bob, Bob just had more success.

Yeah, I held that opinion for a while myself. I can imagine if Peter had retained the Wailers backing band he might have reached that level.
