Boss Reggae From Pama John Bailey

The renowned Pama label was launched by Harry Palmer at a time when the BBC held disregard for Jamaican music with the burgeoning skinheads taking reggae to their heart. The labels first release was in 1967 and within three years Pama could boast a dozen subsidiary labels catering for Jamaican and UK based producers. The sheer volume of recordings was phenomenal but it was announced in1973 that the company had gone out of business. Featuring comprehensive discographies and full colour album artwork the book chronicles the iconic Pama labels including Punch, Crab and Camel and looks in admiration at the artistes and producers. A real treasure for reggae and in particular Pama aficionados with a foreword written by Harry Palmer. The perfect companion to the Boss Sounds from Pama now made available digitally in the highest quality audio to stream or download.
