Lovers' Rock

Lovers' rock is a distinctly British story — a homegrown reggae sound developed in London in the late seventies that was smoother, more romantic, and more R&B-influenced than the roots music coming out of Jamaica. Carroll Thompson, Janet Kay, 15-16-17, Mikey Dread — a scene that has been consistently undervalued and is now seriously collected. At Car Boot Soul Records we know lovers' rock well. Vinyl and CDs, all professionally cleaned and graded. Browse our lovers' rock collection below.
