    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 think is a MUST :), something basic on someone's shelf. I personally got:
    Calypso
    Ska 1
    Ska 2
    Rocksteady
    Ragga
    Rudeboy
    Uk hits

    And hope that I can afford more in the future

    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.

    Some other really good comps

    Hey guys good little group, here my tuppence worth..I must say the Trojan boxes are pretty damn good and Trojan ROCKSTEADY RARITIES Box is a real gem, check out these other comps that I highly recommend.

    BANGARANG - The Best Of Stranger Cole - 1962-1972
    Joe The Boss - Joe records discography
    Leslie Kong's Connection Vol 1 & 2
    Rico - Trombone Man (Anthology 1961-71)

  • PubArt- all those are top notch.
    I can only add Reggae Girl (Tennors and friends) as I think it is the finest one Trojan put out

    Good stuff- give it a listen!

    Ohhh
    2007 release.... great bonus track, I just saw the track list. Good advices you find sometimes...

  • 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
