Description

For sale is Scorcher. A brilliant Skinhead Reggae discography and price guide. An essential supplement to Marc Griffith’s “Boss Sounds  - classic Skinhead Reggae” book and Roger Dalke’s many discographies.

Basically every Jamaican artist who was released on a UK label (e.g. Trojan and Pama subsidiary labels) in the relevant period is featured in Scorcher so this is a real gem for everyone interested in ska/reggae/rocksteady releases in the UK from circa 1960 to mid 1970s.

 

It’s a private publication from 2001 so the price guide may not be completely up to date. It does however give a clear picture of which records are rare and hard to come by and which are not so rare. 1000s of records (both 7”s and LPs) are listed.

 

Taken from the introduction of Scorcher:

This publication is an attempt to place value on the colossal number of records and record labels that have released Jamaican music in the United Kingdom during the approximate period 1960 to the mid 1970s – regarded by many as the “Golden era” of the music”……Scorcher is written by a collector for collectors.

 

 

For further information don’t hesitate to ask.
