They were beautifully packaged and included extensive liner notes, and sold at full-line price. The latest instalment in the mid-priced Trojan Box Set series provides an economical alternative to those earlier twofers for those who have to indulge their love of reggae on a budget. Starting with some of the earliest reggae recordings in 1960 and ending as reggae came into its classical period around 1973, this no-frills box provides an excellent overview of reggae history at three-for-two pricing. The chronological arrangement is handy, and the tune selection, while not perfect, is very good: indisputable classics include "Housewives Choice" by Derrick Morgan Patsy Todd, the deathless "Honor Your Mother and Your Father" by Desmond Dekker, the Maytals' "54-46 That's My Number" and the very dread "Trenchtown Rock" by Bob Marley and the Wailers. There are a couple of clunkers (good luck listening all the way through the borderline-atonal "Satisfaction" by Carl Dawkins), but no more than a couple, and for a 50-track program that's a very good batting average. Recommended.
