Kaya album by Bob Marley & the Wailers, signed nicely on the front cover in blue ballpoint by Marley. Beautifully, archivally double-matted and framed with the vinyl record under UV protective glass to an overall size of 32.5 x 19. In very good to fine condition, with moderate signature contrast, an area of surface scuffing to the upper left background, and some old sticker residue to Marley's hair. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from REAL.
In contrast to earlier, more politically charged Wailers albums, the sound on Kaya—a Jamaican word for cannabis, hemp, or marijuana—was considerably more serene and laid back, and its release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, which heralded Marley's return to Jamaica from exile in London. Albums signed by Marley remain exceptionally scarce, with this particular title all the more desirable given its neat signature, lack of inscription, and essential role in roots-reggae history.
