 West Indian Gazette's offices

Picture

Amy Ashwood-Garvey. In the West Indian Gazette's offices at 250 Brixton Road, 
Jones received guests at all hours. Downstairs was London's first black music shop, 
where Jamaican mento and boogie by Laurel Aitken and Monty Reynolds sold in quantities. 
The Barbadian cricketer Gary Sobers, Hinds recalled, made a point of getting off the bus at the
 record shop during the 1963 Test at Lord's.
