    THE TROJAN STORY – TROJAN RECORDS 1987

    The Trojan Story – Trojan Records Overview

    The sound system cut from The Trojan Story is still popular in today’s sound clashes. This version stands out because of its strong horn sections and heavy bass, which make it perfect for big dances. When you compare it to other yard session tapes from the same era, this cut feels more powerful and smooth. Many old session tapes had rough mixes and simple arrangements, but this one sounds more polished. Alton Ellis, known for his classic "Rock Steady," brings soulful singing to the riddim. His style helped shape reggae music in the late 1960s. Big Youth, with his famous track "Screaming Target," adds his unique DJ style and energy. Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, who made "Elizabethan Reggae," have a long history of blending ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Their music often features strong brass and lively rhythms. D3 covers "Desmond Dekker-007 (Shanty Town)-Sfe," keeping the vibe classic. Dandy Livingstone, known for "Reggae In Your Jeggae," brings catchy hooks and a light feel. The bashment arranger plays a big part in putting all these elements together, making sure the riddim stays tight and exciting for the dance. Fans today enjoy this sound system cut because it connects the old school with modern dancehall energy. It remains a favorite at yard sessions and sound clashes.
