LP version. The legendary gig that Joe Strummer, singer from the punk rock band The Clash, attended and inspired his writing their classic "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" took place on the June 5th, 1977. At the Hammersmith Palais venue on Shepherd's Bush Road W6, London during the height of punk mania. The full line-up for the show were all Jamaican artists Dillinger, Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson (all the first time from Jamaica), and Ken Boothe. "Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae" who had already scored some hits with "Everything I Own" and "Crying Over You" in 1974. Joe Strummer was expecting roots, rock, reggae but the sound system that evening Admiral Ken Sound was playing "Four Tops All Night" as in soul and northern soul that were staple crowd pleasers at the time to warm up the audience, but in Joe's eyes the music should have reflected more Jamaican roots-based music. The song also deals with bigger issues of black and white unity, but some people including the punk rockers. The artwork supplied by punk artist Mal-One has used the two posters that were made for this gig, the reggae promoters "Star Promotions" poster, that contained a picture of Ken Boothe and the venue's own poster that used text to announce it's line up for that evenings performance. Alongside these lost relics he has also combined the groups own poster for the "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" single that incorporated the use of rifle target sights, perhaps enhancing the air of violence contained in the songs message. Mal-One has collaged these together joining the two stories as indeed the song lyrics reflected. People often forget that the songs release was in fact as year after the actual gig, Kingston Sounds have tied this release to the 40th anniversary of the song's release. Joe Strummer was one of the few voices from the punk era that used his lyrics as a weapon to tell the events that were happening around him and their relevance to those times. The song itself was released on June 16th, 1978. Kingston Sounds have compiled this album with songs by these artists, most of which you would have heard that night. Features artists from the full line-up of the show: Delroy Wilson, Leroy Smart, Ken Boothe, and Dillinger.

Wrong photo for letter B for bulldozer
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I love the book but there is an error. The B is for Bulldozer however the picture is of a Front loader. 2 completely different machines that do different things and look different too.

Fun, engaging, educational book for kiddos to learn their ABC’s!

My son absolutely adores this book! We have to read it every night. It’s helping him learn his ABC’s and is fun for him because he loves all of the vehicles and pictures. Thank you for such a beautiful addition to our library at home, and for helping my son get ready for preschool!

First Rate
Format: Hardcover
My grandson (age 3) is just starting to recognize letters, and of course, he is all about planes, trains, and trucks. That's why I was glad to find this book! He really likes looking at each picture and telling me what it is. The pages are made with high quality, thick paper, so it should hold up well. The book says, "All illustrations for this book were hand-drawn in color pencil by Michael Kracht through inspiration from his children in heaven." And you can feel the love in every one.

The sweetest, and simplest way to familiarize toddlers with ABCs
Format: Hardcover
I think people need to get over that the title says boys and enjoy the book for what it really does. I bought this for a boy (uh oh, I said boy) I nanny, who was a year and a half when I bought it. First of all, he’s obsessed with airplanes (his sister is not) which was my first reason for purchasing. I keep the book out of sight because he will rip the pages, but when I take it out it becomes a special moment to sit and read this book together. We go through each page, and I ask a series of questions: “what do you see?” Sometimes he knows (I.e. airplane) and sometimes he doesn’t, but he learns the names of the pictures slowly but surely. I also ask “where is H?” “Where is I?” And he’ll point. There’s a 50/50 chance to get it right as each letter takes up one full page so I feel like this helps build his confidence. Lastly, he loves when I take his pointer finger and slowly sing through the list of ABCs on the last page. Then, we read the book at least two more times! His language and knowledge of the alphabet has improved so much with the help of this sweet book.
