<i>This Is Trojan Rock Steady</i>. Available here on Double CD.

Prior to the advent of reggae towards the latter half of 1968, rock steady dominated Jamaica’s musical landscape, having superseded ska just two years earlier. Yet despite remaining island’s national sound for less the two years, the period during which it prevailed produced a stunning array of hugely influential recordings, many of which continue to inspire music makers over half a century after their creation. ‘This Is Trojan Rock Steady’ comprises 50 of the most popular rock steady recordings ever to see issue, with highlights including notable chart hits in ‘007’, ‘Return Of Django’, ‘It Miek’ and ‘Train To Skaville’, along with the original versions of the famously covered ’54 46 That’s My Number’, ‘Rudy A Message To You’, ‘Stop That Train’, ‘The Tide Is High’ and Let’s Do Rocksteady’. The collection, which forms part of the exciting new ‘This Is Trojan’ 2CD range forms part of Trojan’s 50th anniversary celebrations and as such will be comprehensively promoted via Trojan’s website, facebook page, twitter, YouTube channel and monthly mailing list, with all the major music periodicals and online sites serviced with the product and detailed information.<br>
