The Trojan label was integral to the growth and popularity of reggae & ska throughout the 1960s and beyond. 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.

Key artists whose best-known singles are featured include Desmond Dekker & The Aces, Dave & Ansel Collins, Ken Boothe, Bob & Marcia, Althea & Donna, Dennis Brown, Nicky Thomas and John Holt.

With 100 amazing Reggae & Ska tracks across 5 CDs, this compilation is a must.
