Great Street Art: Reggae, Blues, and World Beat Posters, 1977-1989

Following Bob Marley's death in 1981, the interest he generated in the raggae, blues, and world beat music continued to grow, being featured in clubs around the world. To advertise these events hundreds of posters on telephone were hung on poles, vacant walls, and shop windows. Victor Burleigh has gathered together more than 500 original posters from San Francisco, a city on the cutting edge of the music world, and a haven for raggae, blues and world beat music. They represent a wide variety of styles and graphic images, as well as a history of the music scene. This book is a must for graphic designers, rock historians, and collectors.
