A large collection of 70s music, including original recordings by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and others is missing from the archives of the former Jamaica Broadcasting Corp.

According to Billboard.com, thousands of vinyl records and compact discs have gone missing in the possible theft.

Musicians and former employees of the Broadcasting Corporation are outraged.

"The latest development is a national disgrace," said Gladstone Wilson, former program manager for JBC radio.

Workers of the new Public Broadcasting Corp. of Jamaica noticed the material missing last week when they went searching for it to use on their first programs.

The archives included such important material as video of Bob Marley's 1978 "One Love Peace Concert".
