Peter Tosh's choice of eyewear >>> ____

Keith looking fully zoned.

Tosh inna London.

Don Letts and Bob inna London City.

Peter, Rita and Bob.

Just out of sight to the left of the pic is Bucky Marshall, deceased PNP don from Matthews Lane. The dude with the glasses and red hat is legendary West Kingston proto-Showerman Claudius Massop. It is widely believed that it was him and Jim Brown who set up Bob Marley's shooting, because they felt he was too closely alligned (willingly, or not) with Michael Manley's PNP government.

Claudie in action.

R.I.P to Big and Shawn Mortensen (the photographer)

Last, and most random drop for the heads who remember/relate/know:

R.I.P to Amy and Deal Real...

Shot from when she was just signed and still living with Juliette Ashby.

Not rare, but probably one of the dopest shots of Amy captured early on IMO...decent size too.

R.I.P Lynden.

"Show mi yuh pump mek mi tell oonu who yu are/Ah nuh any bwoi mus' mek see yu SLR!" - Panhead R.I.P.

Early B.

"It name di Doctor Style, di Doctor Style/It wicked, and wicked and wild/" - R.I.P.

Sugar Minott, legendary singer, promoter, record label exec, soundman and talent scout. Big up to him and everyone who come through under Youthman Promotions.

U-Roy, not dead, but probably one of the most influential mic-men to ever touch a stage. He was hip-hop before hip-hop existed, man was like Rocksteady's James Brown.

Man like Patrice Lumumba, rest his soul.

The Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The Bloodline of Sheba. R.I.P.

Jamaica's only truly visionary leader, and that Nice Guy Jimmy.

Socialist movements.

R.I.P Heavy D, pioneer business.

Junjo Lawes, R.I.P.

Wireless Don. Tesla >>> Einstein

Malcolm speaking at Oxford following his Hajj.

Remember the struggle - and know your history!

Bristol Bloodline.

Bristol West Indian Cricket Club @ the legendary, and long lost Bamboo Club in St Pauls.

R.I.P to DMZ @ Mass. Gone but never forgotten. Frontline regular since '07.

Bernie Grant and some next dons

Jesse Owens in India.

Arkan the Tiger. Former Balkan boss, paramilitary, gangster and enemy of NATO until his death. Not a great man if you are to measure him by how many people a man has killed, but he stood up for his people.

Idi and Muammar. R.I.P.

Harold Hunter, NYC skateboarder and featured in the film Kids.

R.I.P Justin Pierce aka Casper.

Ahmad Shah Massoud, Northern Alliance strongman and the biggest opponent of Bin Laden and the Taliban prior to 9/11. Murdered by Al-Qaeda the day before the attacks took place. If you don't know, get to know!

Benazir Bhutto. Led an anti-corruption drive in Pakistan and subsequently ended up dead, not long after predicting it in an interview. May or may not have confirmed the pre-2010 death of Bin Laden as far back as 2007. R.I.P.

[The Flyest]

[Creed Diskenth]

R.I.P Justin Pierce aka Casper.

R.I.P Justin Pierce aka Casper.

Kids is a f*ckkkkked film

Differently. Have to rewatch it once every few years.

It's basically what Noel Clarke wanted Kidulthood to be...kinda flopped though.
