Letts was born in London, and educated at Tenisons School in Kennington. In 1975, he ran the London clothing store Acme Attractions, selling electricblue zoot suits and jukeboxes, and pumping dub reggae all day long. He was deeply inspired by the music coming from his parents homeland, Jamaica, in particular Bob Marley. After seeing one of Marleys gigs at the Odeon in Hammersmith Letts was able to sneak into the hotel and spent the night talking to and befriending Marley. By the mid1970s Acme had quite a scene, attracting the likes of The Clash, Sex Pistols, Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith, Deborah Harry and Bob Marley.
