Author: Yasushi Ide, Chika Minami
From early Jamaican sounds to UK developments and contemporary innovations, 'Vintage Reggae Poster Scrap' traces the visual language of reggae and dub and their many subgenres. Featuring hundreds of carefully reproduced images of rare vintage posters, flyers, advertisements and press photographs from the collection of music producer and DJ Yasushi Ide, the book highlights design approaches ranging from raw DIY aesthetics to highly stylised promotional graphics.While books focusing on reggae record sleeves are already rare, this poster- centred volume stands apart as a pioneering work, positioning printed ephemera as a vital historical record. This collection of posters is accompanied by a special contribution from Don Letts, DJ and videographer for The Clash, who provides an authoritative commentary on the cross-cultural exchange of reggae.
