A chunk of 70's reggae music that had been locked up in the archives of the former Jamaica Broadcasting Corp. are gone. The sketchy act is a dis on the Jamaican government who people accuse of not properly maintaining the archives, according to the AP.The theft was noticed recently by workers for the new Public Broadcasting Corp. of Jamaica who went to the old JBC building looking for archived material for new programs on the network.Thousands of vinyl records and compact discs are being considered stolen. Also missing is video, including footage from Fidel Castro's 1977 visit and the 1978 "One Love Peace Concert," where Marley famously joined the hands of two bitter Jamaican political rivals, political rivals Michael Manley (PNP) and Edward Seaga (JLP), onstage.
