Summary: Peter Tosh and Bob Marley photos galore
Review: "One Love" is great for two reasons: 1) the extremely rare pictures and 2) Lee Jaffe's chronicles of the Wailers personalities and experiences.This book is chock full of extremely rare Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Bob Marley photos, most of which have only been seen by those close to Lee Jaffe. As an example, if you are reading this review, you are most likely aware of Peter Tosh's Legalize It album cover...you know, the one where he is sitting in a ganja field with his pipe. Contained within the pages of this glorious book are several pictures from the Legalize It photo shoot by Jaffe, who had a trigger happy finger, and Jaffe's impeccable memory allows for detailed captions of the photos in the book. He also tells of his experiences with Bob Marley and crew, in response to Roger Steffens' probing questions. Jaffe has a lot to say and doesn't leave any details out. I bought the book for the pictures and was very satisfied with Jaffe's words. Through Jaffe we glean minute details about what life was like for the Wailers and crew prior to "bussing it" on the international music scene. He brings those experiences to life. As a bonus, this book is attractively laid out with vibrant color schemes that are not too busy.

Review: Although I found some rare pictures of BOB in this book, I was rather suprised to see a lot of other pictures "frozen" from live video foootage from "Rebel Music". As a result there are many pictures with very poor quality. It appears that he filled out the book with any thing he could find. I have not finished reading the book yet, but I am not that impressed with the pictures, and secondly Lee Jaffe only know BOB for a couple of years. Unfortunately we "die hard" Marley fans buy anything with Marley on it. I give the book a C rating.

Summary: Great Tosh pictures
Review: GREAT pictures of Peter Tosh and of course of Bob and the rest of the Wailers . I found the book to be a bit of an ego trip for the author to point himself out at every oportunity in the pictures that he was in haming up the shot as he always seem to be Bogarting .Some how Lee always looks even more disshevled than the rastas themselves. You cant become a rasta you have to be one from time begun and it is obvious the author got on board way down the line but kudos for getting onboard that train. Rare photos of Tosh for his debut solo album are the real prize here as are some rare shots of Bob . Worth buying just for cutting out pictures and framing them. Peace to Lee.

Summary: Reggae Fans Rejoice
Review: With the publication of "One Love", fans of The Wailers get a look at the early days of the greatest Reggae band of all time. Thanks to the photography of Lee Jaffe and his remembrances, we have a portrait of what it must have been like to have been there with this brilliant group of musicians.
