Product Description
Reggae is Jamaica's only indigenous music, and although the island has a population half the size of London it is the world's third-largest exporter of music. This book details the history of reggae both in Jamaica and in its two other main centres, New York and London, and selects the best buys on CD, covering about 200 acts and over 500 albums. Arranged chronologically, the book takes readers from the evolution of Jamaican R&B into ska, through the rise of rasta and roots reggae in the Seventies and the death of Bob Marley in 1981, up to the emergence of dance-hall reggae, reggae/rap and ragga.

 Still Valuable Resource April 28, 2006

Whoah!Don't be so quick to throw this on the trash heap. There aren't many reggae guides, this one copyrighted 1996 is still valuable.
It works very well with the allmusic guides and the Rough Guide. It is a good cross reference. It also identifies other comps where an artist work may be found.
It is a good price. If you are serious about reggae, or just beginning it is still valuable for learning and seraching.

This could be an excellent resource for the reggae collector if only it had an index. Useful, sensible reviews of many reggae CDs are arranged in four sections, loosely chronological. It's often necessary to flick through two or me of these sections to find what you want. Without an index, I'd recommend "The Rough Guide to Reggae" or "The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae" over this.
