Seminal sounds from a time when Trojan Records was really doing amazing work – finding tunes on the Jamaican side of the Atlantic, but also breaking them big in the UK too – forging a crucial musical bridge that would go onto impact scenes and styles for decades! This collection brings together 40 massive numbers from Trojan's key years of helping grow the sound of early reggae – not the bigger hits of the Island Records scene, or some of the major labels – but great indie tracks that are still some of our go-to cuts for the genre. Titles include "Do The Reggay" by The Maytals, "Herbsman" by King Stitt & Andy Capp, "Blood & Fire" by Niney, "A Little Love" by Jimmy London, "Shaft" by The Chosen Few, "Maga Dog" by Peter Tosh, "Westbound Train" by Dennis Brown, "Freedom Street" by Ken Boothe, "Sweet Sensation" by The Melodians, "Clint Eastwood" by The Upsetters, and "Fatty Fatty" by Clancy Eccles. © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
Used CD Grade
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
