VA - The Trojan Story (1976) [2Vinyl]

VA - The Trojan Story (1976) [2Vinyl] The Trojan Story is a fairly inaccurate name for this compilation, since it implies these artists recorded these tracks for Trojan, which is untrue. These were recorded by independent Jamaican labels, who were bought out by Trojan after it formed in 1968. Trojan then cherry-picked the best from their back catalogues and released them in this excellent compilation that tracks the development of reggae music from 1961 to 1971. The first and oldest track "Bartender" is worth a mention simply because it starts the compilation in such an unexpected way: it sounds like a refugee from an American '50s R&B disc. Nothing else here is so far from the reggae sound. The rest of the tracks are incredibly consistent in their high quality, in fact it would be fairly safe to safe that if you like any of the songs, you're likely to like them all, with hidden gems like "Housewives Choice", "Rough and Tough", "Soon You'll Be Gone", "One Eyed-Giant" and "The Whip" scattered liberally across the album alongside all the important names in ska, rocksteady and reggae, such as The Skatalites, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker & the Aces, Lee "Scratch" Perry (with a very early 1968 song "People Funny Boy") and of course, Toots and the Maytals.
