Vintage Reggae Poster Scrap

From early Jamaican sounds to evolutions in the UK and contemporary innovations, this book traces the visual language of reggae and dub and their many subgenres. Featuring hundreds of images of rare vintage posters, flyers, advertisements, and press photographs from the collection of Yasushi Ide, the book highlights design approaches ranging from raw DIY aesthetics to highly stylised graphic design, reflecting the scene’s diversity and rebellious energy. Positioning printed ephemera as a vital historical record, the collection is accompanied by a special contribution from Don Letts, who provides an authoritative commentary on the cross-cultural exchange of reggae.
