Reggae Quarterly - Beth Lesser

Reggae Quarterly Magazine was published between 1982 and 1988. In 1982, before we started working on RQ, we put together a Xeroxed fanzine about producer and melodica player Augustus Pablo. We borrowed the name, Live Good Today, from a song sung by Sam Carty on the Prince Jazzbo album, Ital Corner. The plan was to bring the ‘Zine to Jamaica and show Pablo,which was the purpose of our first visit in 1982. With Pablo’s encouragement, we expanded the concept and came out with the Reggae Quarterly magazines presented here.
