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.
