Q: The 24-track recordings, known in music circles as "The Lost Masters", were originally thought to be damaged beyond repair by flooding and when found were covered in a sticky resin-like material. 
  
 But now, thanks to modern day technology, all but three master reels - prized by music aficionados - have been successfully cleaned and restored. 
  
 News of the discovery comes on the eve of what would have been the reggae icon’s 72nd birthday and will lead to a rush of excitement among music fans keen to listen to the treasures they contain. 
  
 The 40-year-old tapes are the original live recordings of concerts Bob Marley and the Wailers staged in London and Paris between 1974 and 1978. 
  
 The singer was then at the height of his powers and the concerts are still regarded as among the most memorable staged by any pop artist during that period. 
  
 The newly-restored tapes feature versions of some of Marley’s greatest songs, such as No Woman No Cry, Jamming, Exodus and I Shot The Sheriff, recorded live at the Lyceum, London, in 1975, the Hammersmith Odeon in 1976, the Rainbow in 1977, and the Pavilion de Paris the following year. 
  
 The concerts were recorded on the only mobile 24 track studio vehicle available in Britain at the time, loaned out to Bob Marley and the Wailers by The Rolling Stones. 
  
 But they were only discovered and rescued from the scrap heap by pure chance when Joe Gatt, a businessman and long-time Marley fan, took a phone call from a friend. 
  
 “I received a call from a friend telling me that he was doing a building refuse clearance that included some old discarded 2” tapes from the 1970s,” he said. “Being a big music fan, who ironically, was actually in the audience for those historic Lyceum Marley dates, I couldn’t just standby and let these objects, damaged or not, simply be destroyed … so I asked him not to throw them away.” ||||| A cache of lost Bob Marley recordings has been discovered after lying for more than 40 years in a damp London hotel basement. 
  
 The 13 reel-to-reel, analogue master tapes were discovered in cardboard box files in a run-down hotel in Kensal Rise, north-west London, the modest lodgings where Bob Marley and the Wailers stayed during their European tours in the mid-1970s. 
  
 The tapes – known as “the lost masters” among elements of Marley’s huge fanbase – were at first believed to be ruined beyond repair, largely through water damage. Yet after more than 12 months of painstaking work using the latest audio techniques, the master reels have been restored, with the sound quality of Marley – who died in 1981 but would have been 72 on Monday– described as enough to “send shivers down one’s spine”. 
  
 The tapes are the original live recordings of Marley’s concerts in London and Paris between 1974 and 1978, and feature some of his most famous tracks including No Woman No Cry, Jammin, Exodus and I Shot the Sheriff. 
  
 The concerts – at the Lyceum in London (1975), the Hammersmith Odeon (1976), the Rainbow, also in London (1977), and the Pavilion de Paris (1978) – were recorded live on the only mobile 24-track studio vehicle in the UK at the time, loaned out to Marley and the Wailers by the Rolling Stones. 
  
 The tapes were rescued from the rubbish by Marley fan and London businessman Joe Gatt, who had received a call from a friend saying he had found what appeared to be some old Marley tape recordings. 
  
 “He was doing a building refuse clearance that included some discarded two-inch tapes from the 1970s. I couldn’t just stand by and let these objects, damaged or not, be destroyed so I asked him not to throw them away,” Gatt said. 
  
 He passed the master recordings to business partner and jazz singer Louis Hoover, who regularly headlines at Ronnie Scott’s in London. 
  
 Hoover said: “I was speechless, to be honest. It was quite comical, looking back now, as Joe was so cool and matter of fact about rescuing these global artefacts that I actually had to stop the car to check that I had heard him correctly. 
  
 “When I saw the labels and footnotes on the tapes, I could not believe my eyes, but then I saw how severely water damaged they were. There was literally plasticised gunk oozing from every inch and, in truth, saving the sound quality of the recordings, looked like it was going to be a hopeless task.”

 The tapes were handed to sound technician specialist Martin Nichols of White House studios in Weston-super-Mare, who said they would have been lost for ever if anyone had tried playing them in their decrepit condition. 
  
 “They really were in such an appalling condition they should have been binned, but I spent hours on hours, inch by inch, painstakingly cleaning all the gunge off until they were ready for a process called ‘baking’, to allow them to be played safely,” Nichols said. 
  
 He added: “The end result has really surprised me, because they are now in a digital format and are very high quality. It shows the original recordings were very professionally made. From the current find of 13 tapes, 10 were restored, two were blank and one was damaged beyond repair.”

 When Hoover first heard the recordings, which cost around £25,000 to restore, he admits to being blown away. “It made the hair on the back of our necks stand up and genuine shivers ran up our spines with joy,” he said. 
  
 “The experience was comparable to, say, finding Van Gogh’s easel, paint pallet and paints in an old room somewhere, then Vincent emerges through a secret door to paint 26 of his finest masterpieces … purely for us.” ||||| Thirteen reel-to-reel master tapes of original live recordings of concerts in Paris in London by the reggae legend had been sitting in a damp basement of a London hotel for four decades. They feature many of Marley's best known tracks, such as No Woman No Cry, Jamming and Exodus. Martin Nichols, a sound engineer at the White House Studios in the West of England, told Newshour how he went about restoring the badly damaged recordings from the 1970s.

A:
Bob Marley would be 72 Monday if cancer hadn't claimed him in 1981, and the Guardian has an appropriate celebration: It reports that a trove of recordings once feared damaged beyond repair has been restored in digital format after a year of meticulous work. The cache, consisting of 13 reel-to-reel analog master tapes, was found after it had spent more than four decades in a damp hotel basement in London. The recordings were made at live concerts between 1974 and 1978—when Marley was in peak form, notes the Telegraph— and feature classics such as "No Woman No Cry" and "I Shot the Sheriff." And the quality? "Genuine shivers ran up our spines with joy," says a jazz musician involved in the restoration. The big break came via UK businessman and Marley fan Joe Gatt. "I received a call from a friend telling me that he was doing a building refuse clearance that included some old discarded 2-inch tapes from the 1970s," he says, per the Telegraph. Labels and footnotes on the tapes made clear they were from Marley, but they were in seriously rough shape, so much so that attempting to play them might have destroyed them for good. Cleaning them was "a horrible job," says sound engineer Martin Nichols of White House Studios. He tells BBC's Newshour that after dissolving away the gook sticking them together, he cleaned 2,500 feet of tape inch by inch. No word yet on where to hear the recordings, or whether they'll be released for sale. (Former President Obama is a huge Marley fan.)
