Trojan Records

This goes a little off the ska path, but it's a good history lesson by Dj Spooky.

Anybody reading this who is not familar with the Trojan box sets, I urge you to get familiar. Two or three just on original ska, another just on rocksteady, skinhead reggae in there, different themes which include exclusive ska tracks, lots of impossible to find stuff, fairly cheap (3 discs for about $22). I need to pick up some more myself.

I'm loving Skinhead Reggae lately. I just got Ska #2 and the Rasta one.

I may be getting more into Reggae proper.

I don't really like the Skinhead Reggae boxset, if you want a good skinhead reggae one, get "Dancehall '69" or "Skinhead Revolt"

hey, daoster, getting a little off-topic about your signature, i always thought they sang "we need a real cool sound". did you change it or something or it's just my engrish?

You're probably correct, since I made that signature before the album came out, when I only heard it live, so I wasn't sure...

I'm really digging disc 1 of the Trojan Jamaican Hits box set. I've had "Derrick and Patsy - Housewives choice" and "Yeah Yeah Baby" on constant rotation and would really like to here some more material featuring Patsy Todd.

I have most of the box sets- the only one I would throw away would be "Sunshine Reggae"
The rest are usually a good mix of niceness/crap...leaning more toward the niceness

I have:
Ska
Ska vol. 2
Instrumentals
Skinhead Reggae
Upsetter

But In my opinion the Dub, Dub vol.2 and dub Rarities are great.
I also like Jamaican hits and Mod Reggae which I hope to be able to get some day.

Changing subject a bit a non box set great Trojan album is "Jhonny Greenwood is the Controller" I much recommend
