A comprehensive account of reggae during its golden era, from the late sixties through the global breakthrough of Bob Marley in the seventies, and the genre’s popularity worldwide.

Pressure Drop draws on original interviews with the scene’s key players of the last 40 years, as well as many of the musicians who were influenced by the reggae from this era. Interview subjects include Burning Spear, Augustus Pablo, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Gregory Isaacs, Toots & The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, U Roy and Bunny Wailer.

We are expecting endorsements from Chris Blackwell (Island Records CEO), Sly Dunbar, Max Romeo, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Dennis Bovall and many more.

Following the phenomenal success of the Bob Marley movie, One Love, this book will be the ‘go to’ book on the subject.

John Masouri is one of the world’s  leading authorities on reggae.

As a journalist, he was based in Jamaica through the key period in the evolution of reggae and has previously written biographies of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and The Wailers.
