Towards the close of 1968, the cool sound of Jamaican rock steady was supplanted by a jumpier, more energetic style
that today we know as reggae.

Within a year of its creation, this irresistible dance music went ‘outernational’, primarily through the efforts of Trojan
Records, which helped place reggae singles on pop charts the world over.

But by the mid-seventies, the relatively carefree sound of this early style of reggae had been widely replaced by a more
serious, inward-looking style that primarily focused religious and cultural themes.

This collection, highlights a dozen major Jamaican hits between 1969 and 1972, a time before the rise of roots and dub,
when the music was made simply for having a good time.

As with all releases in Trojan’s exciting new genre-themed series, the LP is pressed on high quality 180gm vinyl and,
in true Tighten Up tradition, housed in an eye-catching sleeve.
