Founded in 1968, as part of a deal with Island Records, Trojan's mission
was to bring Jamaican music to the world. Over the subsequent half a
century it has done just that, releasing many of the defining albums of
ska, rocksteady, dub, and reggae from artists including The Upsetters,
Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, The Maytals, Dennis Brown, John Holt, Lee
"Scratch" Perry, and Bob Marley and the Wailers, as well as the hugely
popular Tighten Up! compilations. The Story of Trojan Records is
the definitive history of the label and a landmark publication for
reggae enthusiasts. 2018 is the 50th anniversary of Trojan. It is made
up of 12 chapters, 26 artist bios, 20 producer bios, extensive
monologues from interviews, and thousands of images, many of which have
not been previously published but never been collectively published.
