Various Artists- The Best Of Trojan Mento & Calypso, Vol. 1
Various Artists- The Best Of Trojan Mento & Calypso, Vol. 1

Limited vinyl LP pressing, released to coincide with the re-launching of the classic Reggae Label Trojan Records. Trojan is a British record label founded in 1968. They have become one of the most influential Reggae Labels of all-time, specializing in Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae and Dub music. Following the end of World War II, the two most popular forms of indigenous Caribbean music in Jamaica were Calypso and Mento. Released in the early 60's through mid-70's, the irresistible sounds featured in this collection illustrate there is much more to the music of the Caribbean than simply Reggae. Features Lord Kitchener, Lord Power & Trenton Spence, Lord Creator, Marva Moore & The Gaysters and others.

Track List

  1. Reggae Merengue (Tommy McCook ; the Supersonics)
  2. Great 68 (Marva Moore ; the Gaysters)

Open My Records To Avoid Seam Splitting During Shipping

In order to ship your records to you in the safest way possible, and to avoid seam splits, we recommend removing the record from the jacket when shipping. That said, we will never open sealed records and do this without your permission. If you would like your records shipped to you this way, please add this product to your cart.

We will place your jacket and record inside a FREE protective poly.
