In December 1976, Jamaica was gripped by intense political violence. Just two days before he was scheduled to perform at the "Smile Jamaica" peace concert, gunmen broke into Marley's home at 56 Hope Road and attempted to assassinate him. Marley, his wife Rita, and manager Don Taylor were all wounded but survived. Following the concert, Marley fled Jamaica, seeking refuge in London.  Recording in London  bob marley the wailers exodus 1977flac patched
