Volume 4, Number 1 of Steve Milne's indispensable reggae-zine is out now and it's as good as ever. Full Watts is now into its fourth year, providing fans of Jamaican music with the serious, quality journalism that the music has always deserved but not always received. The hallmark of Full Watts magazine is its total respect for reggae artists, its thoroughness and attention to detail. Whatever Steve Milne does, he does it 100%.
The main feature in this new issue is everything you would expect, an eight page article and interview with reggae diva Marcia Griffiths, complete with an exhaustive discography.
There's also a six page interview with ska veteran Lloyd Knobbs, reminiscing over a career that goes right back to the 1940s.
An extensive interview with the UK's Martin Campbell, quality purveyor of modern roots and dub.
An interview with the UKs Steve Mosco of Jah Warrior sound system.
A three page discography of Leroy Smart, the dapper don.
Pages of reviews of the latest albums and 45s.
