Happy 50th birthday to Black Echoes which was first published #OTD in 1976.

It was a weekly music paper in the UK focussed on black music. It still continues to this day as a monthly magazine.

Here is the first Reggae singles chart it published...

#reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky
Top 20 Reggae 7" singles chart as published in Black Echoes on 30th January 1976. The singles in this chart are reggae tunes released on UK labels rather than Jamaican imports. You can find this chart and more on the great website www.ukreggaehistory.com
