| WWW, September 2007 -

Reggae Music was very much a Studio Music, and
fact it still is. In Jamaica, most Reggae Bands
were simply Studio Bands and artists like
vocalists and Dub engineer would work on the
material played by these bands. The bands
themselves therefore had a repertoire of more
often than not 1000's of tracks.
Bob Marley changed this concept significantly,
when he combined American/UK based concepts of
bands with repertoires and albums with additional
touring schedules with his Jamaican Reggae roots.
The rest is history and doesn't have to be
repeated here.
Bob Marley's success gave birth to a lot of
Reggae bands, especially in the UK. In the late
1970's, this movement was already established, as
the five excellent examples in this podcast
show.
