The Trojan Story
Triple Vinyl LP with liner notes
Released on Trojan Records in 1980, cat no. TALL 100
Collection of rocksteady, reggae and ska from 1961 - 71 with the most being from the period 1966 - 68
Owned from new, this has been stored upright in my record cabinet for years, and hasn't been played in at least the last 20 years (I haven't had a turntable).
Three records, a visual inspection shows them to be in really good condition, some light marking and would benefit from a good clean.
Outer box is bumped on the lower left corner, and has some shelf wear from storage.
Comes with the one page liner notes, which have a few dark spots (nothing terrible), these have a wealth of information.
From the liner notes: "The Trojan Story triple album (not to be confused with the sequel double album released in 1976 but since deleted) was originally released in 1972 and after a successful but brief period was deleted. Following the recent spate of ska-influenced records released by many of today's bands we felt it was time to re-issue the set in a limited edition. This time instead of a sleeve we have packaged them in a box for greater protection in view of their ever increasing historical value. The track listing is identical to the original, the music is the same (no re-mixes) and apart from some minor editing the sleeve notes haven't been altered. When listening to these records you soon realise that probably all of today's ska bands must have laid their hands on an original copy of the Trojan Story such is the influence of this compilation on today's music"
