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.
Sound disc contains: 12 tracks of rare grooves.
The renowned Pama label was launched by Harry Palmer at a time when the BBC held disregard for Jamaican music with the burgeoning skinheads taking reggae to their heart. The labels first release was in 1967 and within three years Pama could boast a dozen subsidiary labels catering for Jamaican and UK based producers. The sheer volume of recordings was phenomenal but it was announced in1973 that the company had gone out of business. Featuring comprehensive discographies and full colour album artwork the book chronicles the iconic Pama labels including Punch, Crab and Camel and looks in admiration at the artistes and producers. A real treasure for reggae and in particular Pama aficionados with a foreword written by Harry Palmer. The perfect companion to the Boss Sounds from Pama now made available digitally in the highest quality audio to stream or download.

In recent years Public History the engagement with history now has grown in Britain. Visits to heritage sites, museums and galleries are packed with enthusiasts. In this collection, the contributors write about history as part of a living present which is re-created, contested and challenged. The starting points are places, people and images the writers encounter in their everyday lives. They have a commitment to those whose lives are still excluded from historical practice and their essays blur the boundaries between history, art, culture and everyday life.
When fate conspires many things have to happen in just the right order, and at just the right time. In Britain during the early 60s a youth culture revolution was taking place. The austerity of the late 50s was rapidly becoming a distant memory with full employment and the children of the post war baby boom moving into adulthood. The new British youth were divided into primarily two groups, mods and rockers, based on their musical tastes. The mods had formed an allegiance to R&B and British rock bands like The Who and Small Faces; perhaps most significantly they had taken to Jamaican ska. When the psychedelic 60s hit Britain the mods split into a wide variety of fashions and styles including hippies and the skinhead. This period is where the style of the skinhead was first defined. Skinhead fashion was intended to show a pride in the traditional English working class look. The hard mod's who couldn't empathise with the hippie attitude and style got harder, and with a little influence from the Jamaican rude boys the traditional skinhead was born. The musical force in Jamaica during 67 was rocksteady having slowed down from the energetic ska beat that had dominated the Islands output from the early sixties. Ska was flirting with the UK charts with Train To Skaville from The Ethiopians making it to number 40 in September 1967. In 1968 Bunny 'Striker' Lee came to England to meet Dave Betteridge from Island Records and had a chance meeting with the Palmer brothers. He returned to Jamaica with a request to speed up the music making it more appealing to the youth, in particular a new movement that was starting out all over, following on from the Mods. Bunny returned to Jamaica and as he will tell you reggae was born, with the organ shuffle introduced on Bangarang, upping the tempo once again. In 1968 Wet Dream was released and picked up by the emerging skinheads, and along with Israelites and It Meik reggae began charting, now bought in volumes by the skinheads and the

When it was formed, Trojan Records epitomised the punk DIY ethic over a decade before 1976. With a blizzard of individual labels and a marketing strategy that involved selling product out of the backs of vans, the company spearheaded the injection of reggae and ska into the vein of British youth consciousness. In its first brief six-year incarnation, Trojan produced nearly 30 hit singles, created the legendary compilation series Tighten Up and launched new acts like Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Ken Boothe, The Pioneers, Bob And Marcia, Greyhound and Dave And Ansell Collins, all against a background of cut-throat politics, cultural division and prejudice. Featuring a comprehensive discography, Young, Gifted And Black is the official story of Trojan Records, lifting the lid on the scheming, backbiting and sheer seat-of-the-pants inspiration that made the label such a powerful force for black UK music.
