Customer Reviews

Little too 70's groovy...
Still the sound of the skinheads but when it all started to fade. A lot of fantastic tracks but some of the music starts to turn towards the rasta reggae. It loses me there. Still a great buy. Check out the Trojan Skinhead Reggae box set and Dancehall '69.

Trojan Does it again. (Don't fail me now)
Another superb compilation from our friends at Trojan. 50 tracks of suedehead glory. Great tunes with some standouts that you just have to hear. A lot of tracks that have never received much play outside of Britain, great to finally have a listen.
