About the book

Pressure Drop: Reggae In The Seventies chronicles reggae’s most tumultuous and influential decade. Unfolding both in Britain and Jamaica, reggae flourished against a backdrop of political upheaval, gang warfare, Black Nationalism, racial and class discrimination, and grinding poverty.

Pressure Drop features interviews and archival adventures with legends of the genre, including Aston "Family Man" Barrett, Augustus Pablo, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, Chris Blackwell, Jimmy Cliff, Peter Tosh, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Prince Buster, Sly & Robbie, Toots & The Maytals, and U-Roy.
