Some of the Japanese releases are not bootlegs, you can tell by the
Rita Marley Music insignia
Japan was left out of some of Bob's dealing w/ Island
The Lee Perry tracks have such a convoluted history that it is not
really clear who owns them hence the 100s of releases w/ the same
basic tracks (not a cent gets back to anyone connected to creating the
music)
Live recordings (tons have been released and now many legal download
sites feature them) may be semi-legit
vinyl only material is what needs to be released legitimately,
although I don't think there is much at this point, some is really
really good
I'll play any Bob track I feel like playing on my show without worying
about the provenance
