Andrew Caine details the reaction to British and American pop films during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining the British reception of films such as "Rock Around the Clock, "Love Me Tender, "A Hard Day's Night and "Summer Holiday the book provides a valuable insight into British film criticism, teenage culture during the 1950s and 1960s and the generic status of rock films/teen movies and cultural hierarchies. This book not only contains an extensive account of how the film and music press reacted to rock 'n roll films, but also fully explores issues about taste and distinction within reviewing practices.

In 1962, when Jamaica gained independence to the electrifying soundtrack of ska, no one foresaw the impact its music would have on the world. Now, Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music, as seen on Bravo, traces the story of how this Caribbean island conquered the world through its music. With interviews and commentary from reggae legends as well as people on the ground, Lloyd Bradley takes up the story from the late 1950s and the development of ska, then follows the music's journey overseas in the 1960s. But it was in the 1970s that reggae exploded into an international phenomenon with the super-stardom of Bob Marley and artists like Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, and Third World. Since then, reggae has continued to reinvent itself as a powerful musical and cultural force. As he charts reggae's evolution, Bradley pays tribute to musicians, performers, producers, deejays, and fans--as well as Caribbean music's tireless reinventions from ska to rock steady, reggae to roots to the new roots and dancehall of today. Capturing all the vitality of the music are 50 stunning photos as well as 60 images drawn from four decades of Jamaican music--many never before published. A vibrant celebration of a country and its music.
