The Roger Steffens' Reggae Archive contains more than 9,000 vinyl records and 4,000 cds trace the music's history from the early ska days to the present.
Over a third of the records are autographed by the artists (many of whom have passed away). Nearly every record by Bunny Wailer, Bob Marley and/or Peter Tosh is signed by one or more of the people who played on it, or produced it. As one Jamaican observer reported, "You could have all the money in the world, but you'd never again be able to recreate this unique collection." It also includes test pressings and dub plates, and 99% of everything Bob Marley ever released.
