Notes from the original uploader:

Right a year or so ago I ripped this originally via a lossy minidisc lineage.
Well here better late than never is a true lossless version.
It does sound better than via minidisc, so for those that want it here it is.
The only processing that has been done to this is click & crackle removal,
other than that it is untreated.
There is still some vinyl noise present, especially on tracks 1 – 8 (side A of LP),
did what I could to bring it to an exceptable level.

There are problems with this LP:

01. “How Soon Is Now” has John Peel talking at the end, I have left it as it is.
02. “Half A Person” has “issues” for the first 5 seconds this is partly the recording/transfer & the failings of Vinyl.
This is how it is i’m afraid with this version nothing I can do.
03. “Still Ill” cuts off abruptly @ 2:20, this is how it is on the LP,
no idea why other than to speculate they cut it to fit all the tracks on the LP?
If anyone knows why please tell!

There was a supposed recorded interview with Bob by the BBC after the Wailers finished “Get Up Stand Up” however it is still unknown if the interview also took place November 26, 1973.

Much Respect to my friend Bomba for sharing this rare gem with me,
please find the 2 Original enclosed text from Bomba in the folder.
Here’s some of the original notes and comments:

Notes:
“In praise and to the glory of the Rastafari, InI bring one love and Inity
to the massive with this gem from the original Wailers.
All of your favorite artists are together on three rare tracks from June of 1973.
In perfect harmony are Bob, Bunny, and Peter, backed by the solid rhythms of Carlton and Family Man.
Studio quality with a little hiss for historical accuracy, this is as special as
any material traded among his fans.
Then comes the second of the two sessions, this one from November 1973 without Bunny.
The Peter Tosh material, though, is still great.
With an open heart, you too can share some of this joy”. Bomba

Credits:
“This is the first in a line of DAT seeds, Jah willing, from a great friend
of music named Joey Newlander, aka cosmofone.
His collection is so blessed, as are we to share in his generosity.
To him, respect Itinually.
He converts DAT > CD, which come in the mail and are extracted on
a Plextor 712A, using EAC in High/Secure, Test and Copy mode,
with proper read offsets and the like.
All the details are in the logs.
Conversion, tracking, text & seed to EZT in Nov. 2004 by nibbles,
just a regular guy who wanted to share what makes him happy”. Bomba
