Description

PUBLISHER NOTE: 50th Anniversary Hardback DEFINATIVE EDITIONUPDATED EXTENDED EDITION OF The Story Of Skinhead Reggae with enhanced images.

About the same time as man landed on the moon a new subculture was evolving from the remnants of the mod era, many couldn't empathise with the hippies hedonistic approach and got harder and with a little influence from the their new found West Indian friends and the rude boy in Jamaica the skinhead was born.

At this time 007 had hit the charts and Israelites was following behind, a brand new distinctive sound was reaching out to the disillusioned youth, a transformation from the musical style of the flower power sixties.

The clothes of choice was quality with Ben Sherman shirts Levi jeans and although originally hob-nail boots Dr Martens soon became the order of the day.

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.

Trojan were the main player but didn't have it all their own way as this full colour edition reveals now including the Pama labels and artwork.

Exclusive interviews with Bunny 'Striker' Lee and Jackie Robinson from The Pioneers help to take a trip down memory lane to relive the classic singles and iconic albums, many that retailed for just 14/6.
