Skinhead Reggae 1969

The Sound of Now...mentioned in The Return of Jack Slade by Derrick Morgan was the sound of 1969 / 1970 and that sound was the sound of Jamaican Reggae.

The look at the time was the Skinhead fashion borrowed heavily from the Jamaican Rude Boy style. The Skinhead movement started around 1968 and by the following year of 1969 became the style and fashion of many British teenagers. The uniform of the Skinheads consisted of boots, braces and jeans and the upbeat Reggae sound seemed to match the style perfectly.

Never before has a music matched a look more perfectly than that of the Skinhead / Rude Boy and Jamaican Reggae sound. This set features cuts from Derrick Morgan, Bunny Lee All Stars, Max Romeo, Lloyd Chambers etc.
