The Story of Trojan Records is a compilation album that takes the listener on a journey through the history of one of the most influential record labels in Jamaican music. The album features tracks from some of the biggest names in reggae, including Bob Marley & the Wailers, Desmond Dekker, and Jimmy Cliff.
The album kicks off with Desmond Dekker's classic hit "Israelites," which sets the tone for the rest of the collection. From there, listeners are treated to a mix of ska, rocksteady, and roots reggae, with standout tracks including The Maytals' "54-46 Was My Number," The Pioneers' "Long Shot Kick De Bucket," and The Upsetters' "Return of Django."
Throughout the album, the listener is given a sense of the cultural and political context in which these songs were created, with many tracks touching on themes of social justice and resistance. The album also features extensive liner notes, which provide a fascinating insight into the history of Trojan Records and the wider Jamaican music scene.

Notes
Disc 6 is downloadable bonus disc, available only via Trojan Appreciation Society.
On the inside - each fully loaded CD is housed in a card sleeve with a different Trojan Records logo on the front to reflect the period - while the discs themselves also go into Trojan associated labels (as described above). The 50-page booklet contains extensive liner notes by set compiler and Reggae expert LAURENCE CANE-HONEYSETT (Author of "Young Gifted & Black - The Story Of Trojan Records" - see separate review) with the text peppered by period photos, album covers, trade reviews etc. There are also 4 full-length double-sided colour reproduction postcards featuring adverts for Trojan LPs and 45's, best-seller 7" single charts from the period, gig flyers etc.
The Story of Trojan Records is a must-have for any fan of Jamaican music, and a valuable addition to any reggae collection. The album is a testament to the enduring legacy of Trojan Records, and a reminder of the power of music to inspire and unite people across generations and cultures.
MAN YOU AINT KIDDIN I HAVNT HEARD THIS IN ABOUT 40 YAERS MYSELF . AND DIDNT THINK I WOULD AGAIN .WHAT WORDS THEESE SCARY TIMES THAT WE ARE IN GOD BLESS.
esta cancion es mi favorita, lo escuchaba con mi madre cuando niño, en vinilo hoy se lo grabe de ring tone en el celular de ella, y lo sigue disfrutando, linda cancion. el final guateo
Thanks for posting this; on any given day, my favorite version of the song can be Tony Tribe's, UB40's, or Neil Diamond's original version! Interesting that Neil started performing it more in the Reggae style because he liked UB40's interpretation. Great song!
Me Too UB40 Tony Tribe & Neil Diamond the writer but because Music transends all cultures & differences which personally I do not like.... It's a Lovely up beat tune. A feel good factor 10
Tony Tribe is the 'BEST!'. It's sad how they keep playing the UB40 version. That group butchered so many Reggae classics.The music industry only play UB40s crap version because they are white. SMH
el final guateo
Incidental and all but my son is 14 and studying blacksmithing and sports, so I bought him a St Pauli strip for Christmas...
