The best of Jamaican music from the 60s and early 70s. One of the most important collections from the vast TROJAN catalog.AVAILABLE AS A 3CD BOX SET AND A 3LP 180 Gr BOX SET. Both formats include a highly illustrated 50-page booklet.One of the most important collections from the vast Trojan catalog, \"The Trojan Story\" radically changed the perception of Jamaican music among the general British public outside the country's Afro-Caribbean population. Before its release in 1971, there had never been an attempt to present a complete anthology of the island's musical development, with vintage ska, rock steady, and reggae widely considered obsolete and of little value. The high-pitched record set, which became an instant bestseller, was the original idea of Trojan label manager and Black Music fan Rob Bell, who, assisted by Trojan stalwarts Dandy Livingstone, Webster Shrowder, Des Bryan, and Joe Sinclair, produced arguably the most important Jamaican musical retrospective of all time.Today, 50 years after its original release, this extremely influential album has been revisited by Bell, along with reggae musician Rusty Zinn, who have managed to improve what was already an almost perfect collection. Presented in the original eye-catching artwork, the set is further enhanced by a highly illustrated 50-page booklet in which Bell and Zinn tell the stories behind the life of the recordings at Trojan in the 60s and early 70s and the 50 tracks on the compilation.","brand":"Multi-artistes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57525693448536,"sku":null,"price":23942885.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/multi-artistes_the-trojan-story_2024_uni","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
