Introduction to Trojan Ska Box Sets

Before I dive into reviewing the Trojan Ska Box sets put out by the famous Trojan record label, I wanted to write up a little bit about Trojan itself.

The Trojan Ska Box sets started being released in 1998 and they have roughly 50 - 51 tracks with a few exceptions here and there. The box sets are distinguished by their art and style and get some great treatment at legit record stores. Most of them say that they are limited edition, but don't worry, they are in print and not selling out any time soon...so I say...but who knows.

Who is Trojan?

Trojan Records is a UK based record label that started in the late 60's. They specialize in a specific type of music, usually ska, dub, reggae and the likes. They also operate and move music on Sanctuary Records Group.

The label really got a push when their artists started getting major hits on the pop charts. Lee Perry, and others made the label a major success and they continued to thrive by moving Jamaican ska and reggae youth subculture records. They were lucky in regards to an audience, as many of the subcultures in the UK including punks loved the sound and would purchase records of that nature. In a funny sidenote, Jonny Rotten was asked to front a Jamaican ska band at one point, it didn't work out, and he ended up making music with PIL.

The record company ran through some troubles and in the 70's Island REcords didn't want to partner with the heavy ska record label. The company would find few records making it big, but they'd find some more success in the late 70's and mid 80's with ska's two tone wave that would hit the UK by storm.

Sanctuary Records Buy Out

Due in large part to the growing success of reggae in pop culture through the 1980's, the label really got huge. Sanctuary Records took note and bought the record label, securing the rights to many vintage and obscure record collections and releases. With such a huge library of music, the group started releasing box sets and that's where the Trojan Ska Box Sets start moving forward.

In 2007, Universal Music purchased Sanctuary and garnered major distribution deals, making ska one of the most widely distributed music genres in the world.

Trojan Ska Box Set Releases so far:

Here is a huge list of Trojan Ska Box Sets that you can purchase today. They feature 50 tracks on 3 cd's and they come highly recommended. Every few months another box set is released and they can really drain the pocket book.

In the coming months I will be reviewing each box set in depth, and talking about standout tracks. For now, here are the releases so far. The list will not get updated after today, so if there's new stuff, watch out!
