Description

One of the most significant collections in Trojanrsquos immense catalogue, the lsquoThe Trojan Storyrsquo album dramatically changed the perception of Jamaican music among the general British public outside of the countryrsquos AfroCaribbean population.Prior to its release in 1971 there had never been an attempt to present a comprehensive anthology of the islandrsquos musical development, with vintage ska, rock steady and reggae widely regarded as obsolete and of precious little merit.The treble disc set, which became an instant bestseller, had been the brainchild of Trojanrsquos label manager and Black Music fan, Rob Bell, who, assisted by Trojan stalwarts, Dandy, Webster Shrowder and Joe Sinclair, produced arguably the most significant Jamaican music retrospectives of all time.Now, 50 years following its original release, this hugely influential album has been revisited by Bell, along with reggae musician, Rusty Zinn, who have succeeded in improving what was already an almost perfect collection.
