A few years back I was at a friends house looking through his collection of books, and I came across this book that had quite a bit of information on Jamaal Pete, it had color photos of many of his album Art and other works as well, I don't even remember what the cover looked like, but I remember that the book wasn't on Jamaal Pete alone. Anyone know about this ?

Hmmm, could be, does this book also have photos of murals and some good reading in between ? or is it only Album art ?

Matty,

It could be this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Reggae-Explosion- ... 0810937891

It has cover art, lots of other pictures and loads of text.

On the other hand. Maybe not.

I've just had a very quick scan through Reggae Explosion and I can't see any info on Jamaal Pete.

The book I linked to has interesting text - and lots of artwork. Big colour plates of the artwork and photos stuff too.

I can't find it just now, which is vexing me as I saw it a couple of days ago and decided it wasn't in a safe place so I moved it. But where to is anyone's guess.

Thanks Rob and Leggo,
I think leggo was right with "Stir It Up !" I did some more research and it was released a month prior in Europe with the black cover instead of red, and that cover looks familiar, now that I think about it.
Thanks 2 U both,
GOODNESS

Well worth picking it up Matty.

In fact, I might get another copy so I can break it up and frame some of the artwork for my den.

I'll second that. "stir It Up" is well worth having although there is far more Wilfred Limonius artwork in the there than Jamaal Pete.
