Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Soundsystem 45! is a new deluxe 200 page hard-back 7"x7" book that features 1000 stunning full size record label 45 rpm single designs that span the history of reggae music.
This book is released in tandem with the publication of the large format Soundsystem 33! Book featuring original album cover art of reggae, also published by Soul Jazz Books.
The 45rpm 7" single is at the heart of reggae music, the main tool in which reggae music has been communicated to the public by the deejays in the dancehalls of Kingston, through to its dissemination worldwide. These label designs give us a hidden history of design that is raw, innovative and hip. Ever since the birth of the Jamaican music industry, over sixty years ago, through to the present day, these idiosyncratic label designs have helped illustrate, signify and energise the music that they accompany.
The book includes a fascinating essay by Steve Barrow on the birth and rise of the 45rpm single in reggae music.
