Club Reggae

Published By: Barrington Coen Date: December, 23 2011 Genre: Reggae

The second Trojan 'Originals' CD scheduled for release on Janauary 30th is another classic Reggae compilation from the vaults.

 

First issued in 1971, 'Club Reggae' was intended as the natural successor to Trojan's 'Tighten Up' range, following the simple yet effective formula of highlighting the most popular tracks on the club scene of the day on one budget-priced collection.

 

The inaugural album proved so popular that over the next few years, a further five volumes (including one un-numbered 1974 LP bearing the title) were issued, with each featuring eye-catching sleeves that have since become regarded iconic images of the period.

 

Now, over 40 years since its original issue, the best-selling first volume of 'Club Reggae' finally makes it onto CD, with the original tape masters and artwork ensuring the release remains as faithful to the original vinyl release as possible.

 

What better way to start celebrating the 50th year of Jamaican independence?
