Trojan Records box set out next week

Article written by Paul M - Aug 23, 2011

Story of Trojan

August 29th sees the release of The Story Of Trojan Records, a box set newly-compiled archive of classics, rarities and unreleased material across five CDs. Of the 123 tracks, 87 are new to CD, with many having been unavailable since their original release in Jamaica.

In addition, there's a 50-page book with a foreword from Rhoda Dakar (The Bodysnatchers/The Special AKA), which also features original photography, memorabilia and other bits and bobs. Also included are four original reproduction double-sided postcards, based on flyers and original promotional material, a Trojan Window Sticker and an exclusive 12 track bonus digital album, which you can download once you've registered with the Trojan Appreciation Society.
