Pete S Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 just shouting this new update of a book about skinhead reggae. Well worth getting but i found a mistake within minutes ! Google for more info and scans Looks fantastic but after reading it all (in one go) actually disappointing because they just reprinted the first one word for word and added some extras, but nowhere near enough extras, and it's just the authors favourite records basically. And then you get like one page on an important label like Blue Cat but three pages on UK produced rubbish like the Joe label. And yes, I agree, several errors in there as well. Better than anything else on the market but could a missed opportunity.
TOAD Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 yes pete i mostly aggree witi you but still a handy referance book and the photos are brill ! Not bad for the price and theres no other book like it ? Why not publish one yourself
Pete S Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 yes pete i mostly aggree witi you but still a handy referance book and the photos are brill ! Not bad for the price and theres no other book like it ? Why not publish one yourself Certainly thought about it but time - money - expertise in layout - all problems. I really wanted to see full listings of all the labels with the 'boss sounds' highlighted, not just four or five from each label. The book is great but it really needed that.
TOAD Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 as for the mistake its dance beat on clandisc the same error thats in the Trojan book. Would be great to have all the info in one book as ive got listing everywhere. Got the time but no cash lol lol
Biggordy Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 It's not bad, read a mate's copy - kinda glad I never bought it myself as I need to save up for the next volume of the Soul Discography.
Youyou Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hello, Does anyony know where I could buy one? I tried to send an email to the author, but got an error message. Didn't find anything either on Amazon, etc. Take care Jurgen
TOAD Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 E bay or google boss sounds the book is only being printed in short runs.a few at a time so you might have to wait for a reprint

Guest Jahbuzzz Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I got the first copy for free from a mate - and got the first round print of the new one offa Oldwah. Marc wrote the first draft on his own and did a marvelous job. The original can go for three figures now (or at least did before the new one came out). After much interest he was convinced to update the original copy this time with the help of reggae collector and Graphic Designer Dave Oldwah. As I understand there were some corrections and a few extras but it was never intended to be a different book.

As I understand there were some corrections and a few extras but it was never intended to be a different book. I sold mine before the new one was announced and it just about sold at £60, and it was pristine - I heard those stories about it being £100 but never seen one actually go for that. Same with Skinhead Bible, was happy to take £40 for it, people asking £75 or so have still got theirs.
Guest Jahbuzzz Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 There were a few copies on Amazon for a while at £80 and at least one went for that price
