I've seriously collected records for well over 50 years now - I collect all genres, especially reggae, vintage rock 'n' roll and punk/new wave, basically whatever takes my fancy. However, reggae is by far my main passion, and has been since early 1970, especially UK and US pressed 7" reggae singles.

I have also been selling reggae since 1977. For anyone interested, I sell reggae 7" weekly on ebay (iloveoxfordutd) every Thursday night see here, usually from 8:00pm.

Cheers,

Andy

Charlie Chalk 4th May 2024		Book Laurence Cane-Honeysett - Reggae Business	I've just received some information about this book: The box set was shelved for a variety of reasons, primarily relating to the costs and distribution, although there’s an outside chance that it finally sees release, as all of the component parts were ready to go. In terms of the promo copies of the book, It's thought that there were around 20 copies printed, which were sent to the book's contributors, some record company managers and a few select others. Three test pressings of each of the vinyl releases were manufactured, and possibly the same number of CDRs were created for each of the discs. It looks a great box set - I do hope that one day it appears.
Charlie Chalk 2nd Apr 2022		Book Rhondi A. Vilott Salsitz - The Downfall Matrix	I would suggest putting them all under Rhondi A. Vilott Salsitz.
Charlie Chalk 9th Sep 2021		Book Noel Hawks - The Birth Of Ska	The promotional spiel: To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Jamaican Recordings label, they have collaborated with reggae historian and writer, Noel Hawks, in producing a trilogy of books detailing the growth of the Jamaican recording industry told through the various studios where the music was made and manufactured. This fascinating story has been assembled after exhaustive, extensive research and includes interviews with many of the key players from defining periods in the history of reggae music.
Charlie Chalk 13th Aug 2021		Book Al Rose - Modesto And Empire Traction	Is this a magazine?
Charlie Chalk 13th Aug 2021		Book Francis Guido - Oakland, Antioch And Eastern Ry.	This looks more like a magazine.
