A few years ago Trojan Records brought out the box set series that collated many of their past releases and grouped them into Ska, Rocksteady, Roots, Dub etc. well now they are doing it again with the launch of a new genre-based 2CD series, though thankfully not pigeon holing some into Skinhead, Mod and even Suedehead reggae sets, that will feature the very best in Jamaican sounds from the past half-century.

Many of the songs drawn from both the Trojan and Island catalogues will have been available on these past box sets or on other compilation releases, though Trojan do say that some recordings are making their CD debuts, but whatever your taste in Jamaican music whether it be Mento and R&B or Roots through to Ragga there is something for all and when you get 40 tracks for just £4.99 are a great value way to supplement your collection or collect all these songs if you haven't done so before.
