 THE BIRTH OF SKA ’FROM MENTO TO STUDIO ONE’


ROCKSTEADY TO ROCKERS FROM TREASURE ISLE TO CHANNEL 1

PART 3 IS THE SAME SIZE AS THE 2ND BOOK

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Jamaican Recordings label we have collaborated with reggae historian and writer, Noel Hawks, in producing a trilogy of books detailing the growth of the Jamaican recording industry told through the various studios where the music was made and manufactured. 

This fascinating story has been assembled after exhaustive, extensive research and includes interviews with many of the key players from defining periods in the history of reggae music. ‘Jamaican Recordings’ is presented in three separate volumes. 

Book Three is available from November 2022

Books One & Two are available now..

“... clearly this series is set to become the standard reference work on Jamaican music such is its dizzying depths of research and the vast amount of oral evidence it has compiled from many years of interviews, alongside critical quotes from recognised existing literature.”
