The Story of Trojan Records

Book excerpt: "Trojan's mission was to bring Jamaican music to the world. Over the past half century it has done just that, releasing many of the defining albums of ska, rock steady, dub and reggae, from artists including The Upsetters, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, The Maytals, Dennis Brown, John Holt, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, and Bob Marley & The Wailers, as well as the hughly popular Tighten Up compilations. This book includes interviews with many of the artists, as well as those behind the scenes, and features a wealth of rare and long-unseen images and memorabilia."--Back cover
