Trojan & Horse records 1969 & beyond...
Trojan & Horse records 1969 & beyond... Top tunes if you like me, were a young Suedehead at school... Which meant: Two Tone Tonic strides, Levi Sta Press, Levi Original 501 with quarter inch turn up, Ben Sherman's, Loafers, Ox Blood Doc Martens, Squires' Brogues, Royals, Solatio Plats, Crombie's, Harrington's and the great 'Tighten Up' albums.... Discuss.

Never was a Suedehead. But I had some Ox Blood Doc Martens (now I have Ox Blood New Rocks... :).
And I love Trojan reggae. Started collecting 2nd hand copies from Small Wonder records around 1978.

"Madame, Be in no doubt as to the seriousness of your position". The Day of the Jackal, 1973.

I was way too young for the Trojan reggae era. However, I was old enough for the two tone revolution and Bob Marley hitting the big time. And so a lifelong passion for Jamaican music was born. I really enjoy the ska and rocksteady period from the 60s til mid seventies most. Prince Buster, Ken Boothe, Bob and Marcia, early John Holt, early Lee Perry, Coxsone productions, Augustus Pablo..... so many greats. Great vocals, sweet bass, spacey dub versions. Great stuff, especially on vinyl.

Don Letts, top bloke who was in the right place (Roxy) at the right time with his dub vinyl and camera. He had a great clothes shop too back in the day!elvisintheclouds wrote:Love Reggae/Dub!!! Thanks in no small part however indirectly to Don Letts.

That was a great period for Jamaican music Eric. Boothe had a silken voice, Perry had a very creative and totally unique studio style (which many of the earliest US Hip Hop producers emulated in their sound production techniques) and Coxsone Dodd's productions were always melodic and B A S S heavy too. I guess if it wasn't for Prince Buster and the rhythms he was laying down, Two Tone couldn't have really existed. One of the greatest things for me personally was how all of the above including the emergence of Punk, amalgamated and helped to influence a TOP band...

Not the vinyl no. Sold most of my collection in the 80's. Had to pay for the divorce somehow.Burn e 77 wrote:Excellent, do you still have your collection Rockula?Rockula wrote:Never was a Suedehead. But I had some Ox Blood Doc Martens (now I have Ox Blood New Rocks... :).
