The History Of Skinhead Reggae 1968-1972 (Hardback)

by John Bailey

Book Overview

(Deluxe Hardback) (A revised 50th Anniversary paperback is also available) This full colour 50th Anniversary hardback edition now includes the Pama labels and artwork and exclusive interviews with Bunny 'Striker' Lee and Jackie Robinson from The Pioneers. Take a trip down memory lane to relive the classic singles and iconic albums, many that retailed for just 14/6. The purchasing power of the skinhead helped to elevate reggae music to the fore with classics such as Liquidator and Long Shot Kick De Bucket forced out from the school disco and youth clubs and into high street shops and the pop charts influencing the arm of radio one to eventually play the music on their station. By the summer of 1972 it was all over, the hair had grown, smooth but not too long, and reggae became a forgotten force having become string laden and watered down.
