Product Description

Product Description
A firsthand account in the words of the legendary Don Letts of the links he forged between the roots reggae sounds of his culture and the quickly growing punk scene in London in the 1970s. Highly visual, irreverent, revelatory and staunchly individual, this account - from the man who pioneered sampling techniques that have formed the mainstay of modern dance culture; the man who recorded over 300 influential promo videos featuring, among others, the Sex Pistols, the Slits, PIL and Bob Marley - is an inside story like no other. Now available in paperback.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steel Leg VS Electric Dread in the Kingdom of Doom, 4 Feb 2007
By T. Satchwell (A Tower in the Heart of London.......) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers (Hardcover)
This is an interesting but surface skimming account of what is an extraordinary life. Having followed his career - mainly via the Clash connection..from the Jah Wobble/Keith Levine 12" - Punk Rock Movie - Basement 5 - BAD -Screaming target - Dancehall Queen - Westway to the World and Punk Attitude..etc etc - here is a man who really managed to cross over cultures, absorb and interpret and create.
And he's right...or maybe we are both getting old and nostalgic...but so much creativity came out of punk...which nothing else really has managed to repeat.
Don Letts does drop names ....a lot of names...but influential and respected...not five minutes wonders....but quite how he got to produce a video for US "Hair Metal" band RATT is beyond me...
Having just recovered from the Strummer Biog...which is in so much detail..I find this a bit lacking in depth....I'd like to have found out more.
Maybe DL is a shining example for us all...he has kept the Rebel stance - while at the same time making some groundbreaking and crucial films/documentaries and music. He has taken what works for him from other cultures - but maintained his own roots...something I fear is not happening enough in the UK today!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok as far as it goes..., 28 Jun 2007
This review is from: Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers (Hardcover)
Don Letts is a good geezer, and I have followed him since old punk rock days, so I rushed to check out the book -- but it isn't up to much, just lots of stuff we've already read in other places. There isn't anything new here -- that's the problem. You are better advised to buy his outstanding Trojan compilation record. Don Letts has been a powerful influence on the post punk UK scene, getting a lot of key figures into roots and culture and dubwise. It's just a shame that the book simply rehashes stuff we've all read before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Letts talk, 12 Nov 2007
This review is from: Culture Clash: Dread Meets Punk Rockers (Hardcover)
How many black film-makers are there actually out there? Not many. Despite the odds, Don Letts picked up a Super 8 camera and went for it. What has to be remembered is that this was during the late '70's when the media was very white and all from Oxford and Cambridge. Yeah, this book touches on Letts' years with punk and dub ringing in his ears, but the overall message in this book is despite the odds, just get up and do it.
Black youth should read this book and be inspired by it. Respect to the mighty Don Letts!
