5.0 out of 5 stars Typically Trojan - great value, great selection, 11 May 2004
By Peter Fenelon - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Trojan box-sets are a great way of building up a collection of Jamaican music - the price is right and the choice of music is almost invariably excellent, and this Ska box is another excellent addition to their line. This is an excellent choice of sixties Ska, concentrating as much on those artists who later moved into reggae as those who stayed Ska purists. There's inevitably some difference in quality between the tracks on here, the average standard of performances and recordings is astonishingly good though. As an introduction to Ska this is fantastic - it shows clearly how the genre evolved into rocksteady and reggae, including a few tracks by people who later became reggae greats alongside the Ska purists.

Top 3 tracks for me:
007 - Desmond Dekker
Miss Jamaica - Jimmy Cliff
Guns of Navarone - Skatalites

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic,
By Labal (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
Question in a pub quiz I was at not so long ago that ran along the lines of 'Who recently covered the Blondie song - The Tide is High?' Wasn't her song, I complained into my beer, and this proves it... Another great Trojan box set with masses of material that has inspired at least 3 waves of Ska revival, outstanding tracks such as Guns of Navarone, Blazing Fire, Train to Skaville, Phoenix City. I could go on. And of course The Paragons covering Blondie. Grrrrr... BTW If you're into the modern equivalent check out Pama International and The Splitters.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a box set !!, 8 Feb 2007
By DavyA (Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
3 CDs of absolute classic ska. With the sheer volume of tracks this set provides, its a bargain. This is the real deal.A good cross section of Jamaican ska, with some tracks better known than others (perhaps) but don't let that put you off. If you have only heard the tracks that have also appeared on other ska compilations & you liked them, then the rest of this collection is a must.
This is a really expansive collection of quality ska music & Trojan have done a great job in selecting the tracks for this set.If you enjoy this , then the Rude Boy box set is also worth a punt.
