Massive Sound System Pics? (Dub and hip hop R)

hemol

I'm trying to find some pictures of the sounds systems that were being put to use in Jamaica and New York for reggae and hip hop parties in the 60's/70's, but I'm having a tough time turning much up. If anyone knows any sources online, or in print it would be much appreciated.

Either Scratch or The Freshest Kids. I haven't seen either in a long time but one has an interview with herc and they show dude driving around with em.

I think its tfkids and the context was where "b-boy" comes from.
