First events in reggae music are getting rare, but when it comes to

reggae books - this is a magnificent first - the first book to be

written about reggae music from the inside. Roydale Anderson is a much

loved producer from the seventies. Not a Lee Perry or a Bunny Lee, but

like so many other producers he's done the work, the good work -

making great contributions to the world of reggae music.

He's also worked with some of the greats. Gregory Isaacs, Augustus

Pablo, I.Roy, Black Uhuru and he's working today with Jah Mel who at

the time of writing should have another great set out produced by

Germain at Penthouse. Each and every person mentioned is written about

with wit and insight. That would be good news, but when you start

reading about King Tubby, Slim Smith, Bunny Lee and many other

producers and artists who Andy / Roydale as come into contact with,

only then do you realise how much of reggae music history is still not

known. This book represents the first step in changing that situation,

and its a very good one. A foundation stone that reggae music can be

proud of.
