Babylon on a Thin Wire

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Claudie Massop never knew what hit him. He'd been out playing football, scored a couple of goals, and he was in a taxi on his way home with a couple of mates and they ran into a roadblock. The police reckoned they found a gun. They probably did. They hauled Claudie and his mate out of the car and put them up against the wall. Then they told the taxi-driver to run, and he didn't need to be told twice, he ran like hell. Shots were fired. When they brought him in, Claudie had half a dozen bullets in his back. You could see the holes under his arms. Not long after, Bucky Marshall ended up face down in a flaky Brooklyn disco. They'd overshot the mark. They'd outlived their usefulness.

This is the iconic book that put Jamaica on the map. Nobody knew. Nobody outside Trenchtown had heard of Bob Marley, reggae had no global reach till back in 1972 Michael Thomas went down there and put Rasta on the cover of Rolling Stone. Adrian Boot was teaching school in Port Antonio and taking pictures, together they published Babylon on a Thin Wire and continued to update it thru the Manley years to the present day. This stuff cuts the mustard.
