“未発表音源”満載の豪華トロージャン・ボックス
1968年に設立されたTrojan Recordsはイギリスにジャマイカン・ミュージック旋風を巻き起こす。ロックステディ、初期レゲエ、ダンスホール、ジャングル等多岐に亘る音楽はイギリスの音楽史を変えたと言っても過言ではない。本作は貴重な音源で振り返るレーベル・ヒストリー・ボックス・セット!
5枚のCDに全123曲を収録!ヒット曲、アーティスト、プロデューサー、レーベル等のテーマ毎に収録された楽曲には貴重な未発表音源等を収録され、全123曲中87曲は初CD化、67曲はオリジナル・ジャマイカで当時リリースされて入手不可能だったもの、20曲は現在まで完全未発表だったものという驚愕内容。また、54ページのブックレットには、Rhoda Dakar (The Bodysnatchers/The Special AKA)による序文、レーベル史(60年代末~70年代初期、そして現在)、オリジナル写真、当時の思い出の品々&流行したもの等が掲載され、特典として60~70年代に作られたフライヤーのデザインを使用した両面印刷のポストカード(4枚)、ステッカーを封入。さらに、デジタル・ボーナス・トラックとして、“Trojan Appreciation Society”に登録することでダウンロード可能になるボーナス・アルバムも提供されるという大判振る舞い!
