    Description

    BEAUTIFUL AND HARD TO FIND FIVE STAMP BOB MARLEY FIRST DAY COVER FROM JAMAICA, issued in 1995.  None of these are currently listed on ebay, nor do I see them on the other great stamp collecting website Delcampe.
    The beautiful full color stamps are by artist/photographers ADRIAN BOOT, NEVILLE GARRICK and PETER MURPHY.
    Bob Marley is widely known as the "King of Reggae" who, with the Wailers, brought reggae music to the world from the 1960's into the early 1980's.  It is the music promoting "truth and rights", Justice, Respect, and is widely acknowledged as revolutionary music, the soundtrack of freedom movements among the disenfranchised people around the world.  Brother Bob passed away from cancer on May 11, 1980, at the young age of 36, and a different set of Jamaican stamps were issued at that time.  these were issued 15 years later honoring what would have been the Gong's 50th birthday.
    I have several of these so can offer extras for collecting, framing or resale.  I would also entertain selling two for 40 or three for 55.
    I also have a couple of these FDC's signed by the artists that might be listed at a later date, so inquire if you are interested.  I also have a couple of remaining FULL MINT SHEETS of the stamps potentially available as well as one or two mint sheets SIGNED by the artist whose design the stamp is.
