This is the most comprehensive, informative work on reggae that I've read. I touches on every aspect of reggae, ie. "How reggae music effects the human body". "Who are the Rastafarians?" etc. If you've got a question about reggae, it's explained in this book. Outstanding!!!!!
This album-sized paperback from the early Eighties, features an unforgettable cover and is an excellent, still-vital introduction to reggae music and its history. This book covers a lot of ground and there’s a ton to both like and learn. You can read my full review at allmusicbooksdotcom. There are many recent and more in-depth books about reggae, but Reggae International still best captures that crucial ‘70s vibe, when the bottom-heavy music and its creators were more than mysterious, and perhaps just a little bit dangerous.
