STILL IN SEALED PLASTIC COVERING

From its birth in the vibrant Kingston ghettos through it phenomenal popularity in the 1970s to its iconic standing in today's global culture, reggae and its close relations--ska, rock steady, dj, dub, dancehall, and raggamuffin --have taken the world by storm.
In The Reggae Scrapbook, scintillating words and images propel our appreciation of Jamaican music into the 21st century. Accompanying us on this journey is one of the men who introduced reggae to America and helped rock the world with its syncopated beat, Roger Steffens.
Through lectures, books, magazine articles, radio, and television, Roger Steffens has shared his knowledge of reggae from coast to coast. He is the world's premier archivist and collector of reggae memorabilia, and brings the fruit of his in-depth interviews with such reggae legends as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and "Toots" Hibbert to this unique scrapbook.
Divided into chapters on "Roots and Ska," "Rock Steady," "The Golden Age," "Rockers, Digital and Dance Hall," and "Internationalization," and supplemented with sidebar features on historic figures, styles, and events, The Reggae Scrapbook is all you could wish for in a celebration of the rise of this irresistible musical and social force.
The Reggae Scrapbook allows you not only to view reggae's history and trace its roots, but also experience its music and culture through a CD of rare or previously unreleased tracks and includes a treasure trove of artifacts, the cream of Steffen's collection of more than 30,000 photographs, 800 T-shirts, 3,000 buttons, 10,000 posters and flyers, seven-inch singles and album covers, posters, postcards, and tickets are displayed in glorious color; some are included in facsimile reproduction.
Photographer Peter Simon presents a stunning collection of evocative images, from reggae's rough beginnings to the latest festivals, providing a stunning visual accompaniment.
