The History Of Skinhead Reggae 1968-1972 Softcover Coffee Table Edition

Set against the backdrop of the late 1960s, this book explores the emergence of the skinhead subculture, influenced by the mod era and West Indian music. As disillusioned youth sought an alternative to the hippie lifestyle, they embraced a distinctive style characterized by Ben Sherman shirts and Dr Martens boots. The rise of reggae, propelled by hits like "Liquidator," reshaped the music scene, leading to its mainstream acceptance. This full-color edition delves into the cultural impact of Trojan Records and the broader musical transformation of the time.
