Black Echoes

This was the first Black music newspaper in Britain, which started in 1976 as a weekly newspaper under the name 'Black Echoes'. Later on it switched to a monthly issue called 'Echoes'. Featured music genres were soul, reggae, R and B, jazz, gospel, funk, and northern soul. The paper started at a time when there was no internet, pirate radio and specialist reggae stations, when reggae books and records where hard to find in high street shops, thus it was a gateway for the distribution of information and news on reggae music in the UK and Jamaica.
