Doesn’t mean we have solutions, but it’s better to face them than not.

@johnk77: I attended several shows and events. One of the best was the launch party for Reggae: The Rough Guide book. Loads of famous reggae luminaires that evening. Even the great Coxsone Dodd was there. I had a chance to meet him for a few seconds. One night I also met Sly Dunbar there. Cool guy.

@ cherry1998: There's a King Tubby book recently released. And Lloyd Bradley has a great reggae book called Bass Culture.

@cherry1998 this is not a good answer but a great book - A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James is an amazing story.

There's an old reggae book called Reggae International. Great book. Full of great pictures and more. I will post pics of some reggae books on my Instagram new_york_undergrouns_wfmu.

That book is about the time and place and persons but not the music itself. It is just a great story!

Special 12" REMIX issued in the 80's. I like to buy 12" singles w/ the original version. I popped this one on as a bit of a gag. It's not that bad. Works right after Pop Muzik by M.

@ chresti: That Reggae International book was a tough one to find. I saw a place selling it for a lot once. Scored a nice copy off ebay. There's also the coffee table book Reggae Explosion: The Story Of Jamaican Music. A great resource.
