Trojan Presents Dancehall

In the early eighties, a hard new style returned reggae to its core audience: dancehall.

The sound was pioneered by a new generation of performers and producers, whose main source of influence was every day life rather than the teachings of rasta that had dominated much of the seventies.

This 2CD compilation presents the most definitive collection of Dancehall sounds ever assembled on one release, drawing on the Trojan and Island catalogues, with every track a significant hit from the post-roots, pre-ragga era.
