Hello
Nicky,
Here is a roundup of all my publications
from myself and Ray Hurford and Chris Prete that is currently available. When
you look at my books you are looking at primarily information in the strictest
sense, they are label history discographies aimed at the collector and people
like Record Compilers, to most they are regarded as a bible of
info.
Ray Hurfords books are in depth
interviews with Jamaican Artists submitted by various writers and himself and
presented in stories from the beginning etc through to now with bits of
Discography info.
Chris Prete's books
are a general covering of everything to do with Trojan Records past, present and
future also covering special areas of the music in Discographies, Interviews,
Charts etc etc.
I hope this might
explain what one actually sees when looking at these books, these books are not
the worlds best looking books but the info they contain beats most, all our
publications are self-funded.
cheers
Roger
