Issue 4

The Right Time has come again!

Issue 4 is a 64-pager featuring Roger Steffens' previously unpublished June 5, 1980 interview with the Diamonds and his excellent photos from the same day (see above). It also contains separate interviews with Bunny Diamonds, Lloyd Parks, Gussie Clarke and Sly Dunbar.

In the 400 Years tradition, it contains the most comprehensive Mighty Diamonds discography ever published -- including 7" singles and EPs, album recording information, non-album cuts from compilations, & video -- all thoroughly researched and compiled by discographer and Culture biographer Jim Dooley.

What's been said about the 400 Years zine . . .

"Issue number three of the excellent '400 years' fanzine arrived from America the other day. Concentrating on the work of Black Uhuru it contains incisive interviews with Mykal Roze & Sly Dunbar and a lengthy 7", 12", LP and tape listing/discography. This is how it should be done!"

-- Dub Vendor


"If you're into reggae . . . you just have to get this zine . . . to top it all off the design is excellent. All in all, a wonderful zine."

-- R. Seth Friedman, FactSheet Five # 61
