Marley's 70th birthday celebrations open with a CD/DVD package

The band to help celebrate Island's 50th anniversary in 2009

Bob Marley lager, snowboards, children’s toys and cafes could soon be on the market

Multi-format anniversary reissue of Bob’s 1977 hit-spinner

Exodus' 30th anniversary is celebrated technologically

On what would have been Marley's 60th birthday a new single, recorded from a long-lost demo, is released.

The latest of several Bob Marley documentaries on the market contains little footage of the man himself. But Spiritual Journey makes up for it with revealing interviews from the likes of son Ziggy and former Jamaican premier Michael Manley, and such fascinating archive material as BBC2's Newsnight report on Marley's funeral in 1981. The result is a thoughtful film that intelligently explains just how and why he became the Third World's first genuine superstar.
