This month, I’m going to turn the collecting spotlight on reggae and the absolutely infinite and mindboggling ‘conundrums’ that collecting this genre regularly throws up. Strap yourselves in, this one is a bumpy ride…
Purists will hate me for saying this, but here goes: without Bob Marley’s rise to fame in the early 1970s, there would not be as huge a reggae collecting market as there is now. Somebody said something very interesting within my earshot a few years back that stuck in my mind: “Don’t trust anybody who says they don’t like Bob Marley.” I’d agree withthat.
