Beskrivning
This is the story of Greensleeves Records — from its beginnings as a West London record shop in 1975 to its rise as a pioneering label that brought authentic, uncut Jamaican music to the world. Focusing on the label’s formative years and its first 100 album covers, a series of interviews with key figures offer insights into the music, musicians and business practices that established Greensleeves as one of the most influential reggae and dancehall labels of all time. With rare photographs of artists including Dr Alimantado, Dennis Brown, Sister Nancy, and Yellowman, together with previously unseen archive material and a complete label discography, Greensleeves: The First 100 Covers is an essential addition to the library of the discerning music connoisseur.
