Various Artists: Trojan Selecta 3 (TJJCD322)

Another romp through the many sun genres of Jamaican music, a sampler is a a sampler does – everyone a top sound and every one provocative enough to want you to buy the full album. Personal favourites include the soulful Dave Barker, my top toaster Tapper Zukie and the harmonies of the Heptones.

Various Artists: Trojan Selecta 3 (TJJCD322)

Format: CD album Released: Jul 31 2006 Price: £4.99 Trojan Selecta Volume 3 is the third in a series of budget-priced quarterly samplers to be released by the legendary Trojan Records. Much like the first two, the third in the series features a Who's Who of Reggae superstars past and present and a huge spectrum of styles ranging from Ska to Dub through Dancehall and Roots. There are key tracks here from the likes of Keith Hudson, PAMA International, Dave Barker, Johnny Clarke and Desmond Dekker. Trojan Selecta Vol. 3 is the perfect starting point for anyone with an interest in Reggae and, with such classics as 'Prisoner Of Love', 'Music Like Dirt' and 'Entering The Dragon' at such a low price, is an absolute must.
