David Corio kickstarted his career fresh out of university, freelancing for the weeklies and music rags in 1978. While in London, he began to take portraits and going to shows, and in part, he focused on reggae musicians.

He’s no slouch – Corio’s portraits find themselves in the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington DC and many more prestigious places.

And now, there’s a killer fanzine where you can get your hands on his work, which feature some previously unseen images, including luminaries like Shabba Ranks, Burning Spear, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, and more.

It’s a really smart little book, with images taken between 1980 and 2004. A must for anyone with an interest in reggae in the UK, music fans, or subcultures in England’s capital.
