A reggae specialist, writer Bruno Blum is releasing, in the run-up to Christmas, "Reggae Vinyls" (Stéphane Bachès editions), a 264-page book gathering more than 500 images of landmark record sleeves.
With "Reggae Vinyls", Bruno Blum shines a light on the various Jamaican currents, from ska to rocksteady, by way of mento, dub and dancehall.
Note that several books of record sleeve photographs have already appeared in the past, including the recent "Reggae 45 Soundsystem – The Label Art of Reggae Singles" and "Reggae Soundsystem – Original Reggae Album Cover Art", recently published by Soul Jazz Records (news of 22/10/2012).
