Peter Simon & Roger Steffens Interview.
Click the picture above to open a flip book of two mini interviews with Peter Simon & Roger Steffens.
Also, be on the lookout for a more in depth video interview that I will be doing with Peter and Roger the day of the event.
May 10th is creeping…Not only will we have a display of Peter’s iconic photographs hanging in the store, this will be the first time that Roger and Peter will be together signing the book. Molli Fire, who contributed two great chapters, will also be in attendance to sign the book.
Not to be missed…
About The Book
Roger Steffens and Peter Simon’s Reggae Scrapbook is exactly what it sounds like, a treasure trove of memories, images, and ephemera from two men who have enjoyed unprecedented insider access to Reggae music and Reggae musicians. In between stories and anecdotes about such luminaries as Bob Marley, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and many more, the book is peppered with Peter Simon’s beautiful photography (mostly previously unpublished) and meticulously reproduced pieces of memorabilia from super collector Roger Steffens’s personal collection. For the uninitiated to the long-time fan, Roger Steffens and Peter Simon’s Reggae Scrapbook is an indispensable, multi-dimensional look into the growth of a music and culture that has touched lives across the globe. Also included is a DVD of interviews with reggae legends conducted by Roger Steffens over the course of two decades on his show “L.A. Reggae.”

I bought two Reggae Scrapbooks several months ago. I was not prepared for what was inside. There is an interview dvd, a poster, post cards, news release of Peter Tosh’s death, pictures, and playbills. I’m not ashamed to say that I actually drooled. It was llike finding a buried treasure.
Please tell Roger thanks for the memories. I use to listen to him on the Reggae Beat show out of Santa Monica, CA.

No doubt. What strikes me is how well the book and all the inserts have held up.

this is an excellent book on reggae music and the passion of collecting it. The dvd has some great moments with Roger and I have to say any and every reggae fan will want a copy of this on their coffee table or in their library.
Its awesome.
