Opis
W 2018 roku zasłużona dla reggae, ska i dancehallu wytwórnia Trojan kończy 50 lat. Z tej okazji przygotowano kilka wydawnictw, podsumowujących jej działalność. Jednym z nich jest prezentowana, dwupłytowa kompilacja, która poświęcona jest reggae. Dzięki temu gatunkowi, Trojan stał się w latach 70. i późniejszych wydawcą znanym na całym świecie.
Na „This Is Trojan Reggae” zapisano 50 najsłynniejszych utworów w stylistyce reggae. Wśród nich jest kilka wielkich hitów, chociażby „Double Barrel”, „Uptown Top Ranking”, „Everything I Own”, „I Wanna Wake Up With You”.
