(Trojan boss Lee Gopthal and Blackwell had previously worked together doing mail order sales.) Trojan served as a sister label to Island, releasing singles supplied by its namesake Duke \u201cTrojan\u201d Reid, as well as Lee Perry, Byron Lee, and other producers. Such records proved popular with the working class skinheads of the late \u201960s, and the label had its first hit in the summer of \u201969 with Tony Tribe\u2019s \u201cRed Red Wine.\u201d Two years later, Trojan scored its first UK number one with Dave and Ansel Collins\u2019 \u201cDouble Barrel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Equally popular were the competitively priced compilations that Trojan produced. As tastes changed and reggae continued to morph, those comps proved to be the label\u2019s bread and butter, especially during the Two Tone ska revival of the late \u201970s and early \u201980s. When the label was sold in 1975 and again in 1985, the focus was placed on channeling Trojan\u2019s formidable back catalog into additional compilations. When Trojan was sold once more 15 years later, those compilations found new life on CD.<\/p>\n<p>In the intervening years, Trojan was once again obtained by new owners, BMG, and is being relaunched in the U.S. with a series of\u2014what else\u2014compilations. The first of these, <i>Rude Boy Rumble<\/i>, was released on Record Store Day in April. Named after the Jamaican subculture whose fashions were adapted by the mods and skins of the era, the record was compiled by record store owner and Sound System label head Tom \u201cPapa\u201d Ray and suitably highlights tracks from Trojan\u2019s hey day. Naturally, it includes \u201cDouble Barrel,\u201d as well as classics like The Slickers\u2019 \u201cJohnny Too Bad\u201d and Alton Ellis\u2019 \u201cCry Tough,\u201d as well as arguably one of the greatest cuts ever laid to wax, \u201c007 (Shanty Town)\u201d by Desmond Dekker &amp; The Aces. It\u2019s a solid survey of Trojan\u2019s catalog that even contains some surprises like the funk-reggae hybrid of The Chosen Few\u2019s cover of Isaac Hayes\u2019 \u201cDo Your Thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_rock_steady.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3592\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_rock_steady.jpg\" alt=\"Trojan Records Rock Steady Volume 1\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_rock_steady.jpg 250w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_rock_steady-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>Where Trojan has always excelled, though, is in delving into Jamaican music\u2019s genres and sub-genres, and the five volumes it released earlier this summer as the first phase of its relaunch serve as introductions to not only the label, but the styles of music in which it has long specialized. And with each comp labeled \u201cVolume 1,\u201d one can only assume that Trojan will delve deeper with subsequent releases. It\u2019s also worth noting that these are vinyl-only, no doubt marking the first time many of these cuts have been pressed to the format in years.<\/p>\n<p>The most natural places for Trojan\u2014and listeners\u2014to start are the volumes devoted to ska and rock steady. Compiled (as the others are) by writer Laurence Cane-Honeysett, these records are devoted to two styles that came to prominence in the \u201960s and which Trojan has long documented via its releases. The style favored early in the decade, ska\u2019s frantic tempos were eventually slowed down in the mid-60s and rock steady was born. As such, the two are closely related, and there is some overlap, with Desmond Dekker &amp; The Aces and Alton Ellis &amp; The Flames appearing on both records. Both volumes are top notch, with the dozen songs on each representing the best of the genres. The ska collection is highlighted by The Skatalites\u2019 \u201c(Music Is My) Occupation\u201d and The Zodiacs\u2019 \u201cRenegade,\u201d while the rock steady comp, perhaps my favorite of all five, has \u201c007 (Shantytown),\u201d which as I might have mentioned previously is as good as it gets, as well as, ironically, The Ethiopians\u201d \u201cTrain to Skaville\u201d and The Paragons\u2019 \u201cThe Tide Is High,\u201d which most will recognize for Blondie\u2019s hit cover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReggae\u201d seems like a pretty broad term, but by the late \u201960s, the genre was diverging in multiple directions and one can hear that diversity on the volume labeled as such. The omnipresent Desmond Dekker leads things off with his ska-tinged \u201cIsraelites,\u201d while Dennis Brown\u2019s \u201cMoney in My Pocket,\u201d though focused on similar economic concerns, features a more mid-tempo riddim and laidback approach. It is here more than anywhere else that one hears the past, present, and future of Jamaican music, with the era sounding particularly amazing on Althea &amp; Donna\u2019s \u201cUptown Top Ranking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_reggae.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3595\" src=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_reggae.jpg\" alt=\"Trojan Records Reggae Volume 1\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_reggae.jpg 250w, https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/trojan_reggae-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>In the \u201970s, two seemingly dissimilar offshoots of reggae emerged. Roots focused on organic sounds as well as Rastafarianism, while dub was a future-forward style created in and by the studio, with the producer\u2019s role every bit as important as the featured musicians. However, the fact that Lee \u201cScratch\u201d Perry appears on both records should tell you that even here there is some common ground. Indeed, the cut that leads off the roots record, \u201cTwo Sevens Clash\u201d by Culture, is led by a modern keyboard melody while dealing in religious mysticism. But elsewhere such proselytizing is matched with a stripped-down sound that gives such zealousness real punch. A prime example is \u201cNone Shall Escape the Judgement\u201d by Johnny Clarke (who also appears on the dub record), whose riddim is delivered primarily on high-hat and bass.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that the dub volume has the least number of tracks of any of these records. Here the form is slowed and stretched, with the distance between musical elements bridged by swathes of bass. No doubt aided by sinsemilla (as Linval Thompson readily admits on \u201cJamaican Collie\u201d), it\u2019s remarkable how far these pioneers pushed the limits using the most rudimentary of tools. These are grooves as deep as the earth itself and truly come off like sonic explorations into the heart of sound itself.<\/p>\n<p>While, none of these records can claim to be much more than a cursory overview, each album is notable for being without filler. Indeed, these are records that demand to be heard front to back, as there\u2019s not a bum cut in the bunch. Let\u2019s hope that they are just the start of much more music to come from Trojan, as well as the beginning of a long-lasting resurgence for the label.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an initial false start the year before, Trojan Records was launched in 1968 as a partnership with Island Records, Chris Blackwell\u2019s powerhouse label<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":3596,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[1444,1338],"class_list":["post-3591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-past-perfect","tag-past-perfect","tag-trojan-records"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
