After Bob Marley had finished singing, myself and a friend went up onto the platform where he was performing. He was chuckling away and I asked if I could take off a piece of his hair. He just kept nodding and chuckling and appeared amused by it so I twisted a piece of his dreadlock off. And he of course gave me his autograph as well. I’ve kept it in my autograph album ever since.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lot also features an original Top of the Pops promotional flyer. On the reverse, the consignor has written: \"Andrea and Melanie went to Top of the Pops on 2\/6\/78, we saw Kid Jensen [presenter], Black Sabbath, Showaddywaddy, Heatwave, Bob Marley, Thin Lizzy and unfortunately Legs + Co.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA youthful error on the consignor’s part reveals she wrote the incorrect date on the flyer.
