A lifetime in the music business has given RayMan Ramsay plenty to write about.

The now-retired South Surrey resident has authored two books about his days as a “Promo Monkey” who helped sell records, starting in the late-1960s.

The series offers a wide selection of real-life stories and hands-on working experiences documenting Ramsay’s decades with Quality Records/TPC Distribution and, later, the RCA/BMG record labels, in the B.C.
