Description

The Rasta legend inscribes his final album

Unplayed German pressing of Marley’s Uprising album signed and inscribed on the front cover in blue ballpoint, “To Frau Adorjan, ‘Rasta Live,’ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Bob Marley.” The album is also signed by two unidentified persons in Marley’s entourage (possibly Marley’s wife or band members). In fine condition. The record is included. This album was a 1980 Christmas present for Mrs. Terese Adorjan, who was secretary to Marley’s personal doctor, Dr. Issels, and saw Marley each day for several months. Issels, a world famous cancer expert, treated Marley for cancer for several months in late 1980 until a few days prior to Marley’s untimely death at age 36. Uprising was Marley’s final studio album and consists of such classics as ‘Could You Be Loved’ and ‘Redemption Song.’ Accompanied by a handwritten statement in German, from Mrs. Adorjan, an English translation of the statement (which pictures Adorjan holding the album) and a clipped German newspaper obituary for Marley. Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
