BOB MARLEY AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF REGGAE 1975-1976

During 1975 and 1976, renowned photo-journalist Kim Gottlieb and her husband, Island publicity head Jeff Walker documented what is now widely recognized as “The Golden Age of Reggae”. Over two years of historic trips to Jamaica and exclusive meetings in Los Angeles, Kim took iconic images of the artists who would go on to define the genre and captivate a generation.

Bob Marley and the Golden Age of Reggae features candid and intimate photographs of all of the musicians, artists and producers who brought the reggae sound to the international stage, including Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Toots Hibbert, Burning Spear, Lee “Scratch” Perry and of course, Bob Marley and The Wailers. Kim’s photographs include never-before-seen performance shots, candid behind-the-scenes footage of Bob’s home in Jamaica, and exclusive records of key moments in reggae history.

Acclaimed rock journalist and director Cameron Crowe provides  a rousing foreword, and Reggae historian Roger Steffens writes lucidly about the significance of the pivotal moments documented here.
 
 

ON SET WITH JOHN CARPENTER: THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF KIM GOTTLIEB-WALKER


John Carpenter’s producing partner Debra Hill hired photographer Kim Gottlieb-Walker to be the unit photographer on Halloween, and Kim soon became part of Carpenter’s filmmaking family, going on to shoot stills on the sets of some of his most iconic films: Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York, Halloween II , and Christine.

Collected together here for the first time is the best of that on-set photography, with iconic, rare, and previously unseen images accompanied by exclusive commentary from those involved - including John Carpenter himself along with other key crew and cast.

From scores of production stills, portrait shots of the actors who would eagerly pose for Kim, to candids of the stars between takes and the crew in action, this engaging new Titan book gives an unprecedented glimpse into the action on set with the legendary director.
