Rewind! Photographer and writer Beth Lesser has put together a brilliantly presented and detailed insight into the fascinating life of Dancehall and Jamaican culture. Together with the help of the ever-consistent Soul Jazz record label out of London, the coffee table style 12" by 12" book rehashes the background and history of Jamaican music from its humble beginnings in the 1950s to its violent height in the 1980s. Featuring incredible photographs and biographies of the leading selectors, deejays and everyday Jamaican culture, Lesser provides a jam-packed visual history and tells the story from that rarest vantage of the true, respected insider. This book is an absolute pleasure to read and essential for anyone with a passing interest in Jamaican music or culture. Boh!
