Newman, Alexander - Greensleeves: The First 100 Covers

This is the story of Greensleeves Records, from its

beginnings as a mid-1970s West London record shop

to its rise as a pioneering label that brought authentic,

uncut Jamaican music to the world.

Focusing on the label’s formative years and 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 Dennis

Brown, Sister Nancy, Dr Alimantado and Yellowman,

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.
