PUBLISHER NOTE: 50th Anniversary Hardback DEFINATIVE EDITION UPDATED EXTENDED EDITION OF The Story Of Skinhead Reggae with enhanced images. About the same time as man landed on the moon a new subculture was evolving from the remnants of the mod era, many couldn't empathise with the hippies hedonistic approach and got harder and with a little influence from the their new found West Indian friends and the rude boy in Jamaica the skinhead was born. At this time 007 had hit the charts and Israelites was following behind, a brand new distinctive sound was reaching out to the disillusioned youth, a transformation from the musical style of the flower power sixties. The clothes of choice was quality with Ben Sherman shirts Levi jeans and although originally hob-nail boots Dr Martens soon became the order of the day. The purchasing power of the skinhead helped to elevate reggae music to the fore with classics such as Liquidator and Long Shot Kick De Bucket forced out from the school disco and youth clubs and into high street shops and the pop charts influencing the arm of radio one to eventually play the music on their station. Trojan were the main player but didn't have it all their own way as this full colour edition reveals now including the Pama labels and artwork. Exclusive interviews with Bunny 'Striker' Lee and Jackie Robinson from The Pioneers help to take a trip down memory lane to relive the classic singles and iconic albums, many that retailed for just 14/6.

PUBLISHER NOTE: Skinhead REGGAE HIT THE TOWN is an updated deluxe edition of The History of Skinhead Reggae 1968-1972. Images have been enhanced and the Pama labels and album artwork appear in full colour for the first time in this extended 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition. About the same time as man landed on the moon a new subculture was evolving from the remnants of the mod era, many who were working class couldn't empathise with the hippies hedonistic approach and got harder and with a little influence from the their new found West Indian friends and the rude boy back in Jamaica the skinhead was born. At this time 007 had hit the charts and Israelites was following behind, a new distinctive sound was reaching out to the disillusioned youth, a complete transformation of musical style to the pop and rock of the flower power sixties. The mods had earlier in the decade formed an allegiance to ska with Prince Buster at the forefront but their younger brothers were now entwined with the new sounds outpouring from Jamaica. The clothes of choice was quality with Ben Sherman shirts Levi jeans and Dr Martens boots. The jeans were wore at half mast copying the rude boy of Jamaica but perhaps the most distinctive look that set them aside from the mainstream was the cropped head, not shaven but cropped. The purchasing power of the skinhead helped to elevate reggae music to the fore with classics such as Liquidator and Long Shot Kick De Bucket forced out from the school disco and youth clubs and into high street shops and the pop charts influencing the arm of radio one to eventually play reggae. By the summer of 1972 it was all over, the hair had grown, smooth but not too long, and reggae became a forgotten force having become string laded and watered down. Take a trip down memory lane to relive the classic singles and iconic albums that retailed for just 14/6.

This edited volume concentrates on the period from the 1940s to the present, exploring how popular music forms such as blues, disco, reggae, hip hop, grime, metal and punk evolved and transformed as they traversed time and space. Within this framework, the collection traces how music and subcultures travel through, to and from democracies, autocracies and anocracies. The chosen approach is multidisciplinary and deliberately diverse. Using both archival sources and oral testimony from a wide variety of musicians, promoters, critics and members of the audience, contributors from a range of academic disciplines explore music and subcultural forms in countries across Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America and Africa. They investigate how far the meaning of music and associated subcultures change as they move from one context to another and consider whether they transcend or blur parameters of class, race, gender and sexuality.

'I was no longer fitting in at school. I was unsure of my friends, and they were increasingly unsure of me. I wanted to be a rock star. But while all around, voices were starting to break, acne beginning to appear, facial hair sprouting, I remained all flabby flesh and innate scruff, with a high-pitched whine and not a muscle to my name. I was the runt of the class and rarely allowed to forget it. I had no father at home to help me out, and could hardly talk to my mum. So I took solace in The Jam.' As a boy, Tony Fletcher frequently felt out of place. Yet somehow he secured a ringside seat for one of the most creative periods in British cultural history. Boy About Town tells the story of the bestselling author’s formative years in the pre- and post-punk music scenes of London, counting down, from fifty to number one: attendance at seminal gigs and encounters with musical heroes; schoolboy projects that became national success stories; the style culture of punks, mods and skinheads and the tribal violence that enveloped them; life as a latchkey kid in a single-parent household; weekends on the football terraces in a quest for street credibility; and the teenage boy’s unending obsession with losing his virginity. Boy About Town is an evocative, bittersweet, amusing and wholly original account of growing up and coming of age in the glory days of the 1970s.
