Ska & Reggae Classics

To mark the 50th anniversary of Trojan Records comes ‘Trojan Ska & Reggae Classics’, a 3CD TV-advertised collection featuring 60 of the most celebratory Jamaican music hits from the iconic label’s legendary catalogue.

Featuring 49 Top 60 UK chartbusters, including 4 UK Number 1s, 16 Top 10s and a dozen Top 20s, this joyous collection showcases the very best in classic Caribbean sounds, from rude boy ska to dancehall anthems, and in doing so demonstrates just why Trojan remains the world’s greatest reggae label, half a century since its launch.
