Mid-80's roots reggae classics
Selection of blazing roots & pre-digital dancehall from the years following Bob's passing when international reggae artists still enjoyed mainstream popularity. Luminaries like Black Uhuru, Sly & Robbie, Peter Tosh, Barrington Levi, Junior Reid, Half Pint, Ini Kamoze, Aswad, Misty In Roots, Freddie Mcgregor & Sugar Minott lead the way..
A really exciting period in the annuls of reggae music
Continuous mix 2 hours
Anyone remember Black Beat International?
I subscribed to this monthly magazine from my local newsagents as a youthman in the mid-80's - a vital link, keeping me in touch with what was happening stuck up there in rural Northumberland. It also came with superb full page posters & centrefolds to help cover my walls haha.. A glossy alternative to the weekly Black Echoes newpaper BBI likewise covered all forms of music of black origin and while not quite matching Echoes for depth of coverage, it was a pleasing, wonderfully presented publication that looked fab up there on the shop shelves back then in the golden era of printed media. Just seeing all these covers again brings it all back... So salute Black Beat International!
ha ha memories by the score remember these very well
