Released 12/27/2024

The birth and growth of the Jamaican recording industry. Records have played an integral part in the history of Jamaican music and the importance of making records, as opposed to making music, can never be overstated. These are the stories, told through first-hand accounts wherever possible, of the men and women-- manufacturers, musicians, arrangers and record producers -- who made the records and who made the sound of reggae available worldwide. 188-page hardback book. Illustrated throughout with period photos, artifacts and record labels.
