Roots Archives Forum

I've finally used up all 200 free posts on my flickr-account - which means that there now is 200 albums available to look at over there - most with small reviews.

Just figured I'd throw up a link here for anyone interested;

Several scans you've probably already seen here (some actually being from my copies ) others not.

Hope you enjoy!

Also there are others scanning (or taking photos) of reggae covers/labels on flickr. Some noteworthy mentions;

I've been following Kal's flickr account for a while now, and it's a wonderful resource, please do check it out!

Hi Kalcidis

Just sat watching Creation rebel (1) on the slideshow setting! Wonderful, wonderful stuff!

Particularly fond of Chosen One's **["Party Night"](http://flickr.com/photos/creationrebel/ ... 448818056/)**

THANK YOU! this sort of generosity is appreciated!

That Party Night is a favourite of mine too. I also love the Congo Ashanty label;

I've been watching it for quite a while now, and I love your high quality scans and your little reviews!
Keep it up!

Since I've run out of space I won't be able to continue But thanks anyway.

Hi and thanks for the work !
Just out of curiosity, which method did you use foryour scans ? (a large scanner or did you take photos ?...)

Cheers.

Mr Thô

I've actually have gotten that question so many times that I threw together a small tutorial some time ago. A very half-assed tutorial but still good enough to be of help I think. I use an ordinary A4-scanner.

Check it here;

Roots-Archives should really have a guide on how to do the best scans.

The album and cover in the scan is by the way not included on Roots-Archives. Should perhaps provide the information now.
