Delving into the incredible, legendary Trojan catalogue, ULTIMATE REGGAE & SKA CLASSICS charts a course beginning with the early days of ska and rocksteady, steering through the late 60s and early 70s commercial peak of the genre - when this previously underground Jamaican sound began to score UK number one hits! - and onwards.
