Can I Get My Own Trojan Compilation?

[admin]

I have over 100,000 tracks on vinyl, CD and CDR.

Beats 26,000 on minidisc

no doubt your compilation would be boss, gordy.


but i fear that mediocre shit comps like dj derek or don letts will do it for the average reggae fan ..........

[rosko]

100,000 tracks!!! That's awesome.

Have you catalogued them all?

[admin]

I'm in the process, but it's an ongoing thing. I think I may be finished when I'm 45

[DJ Greedy G]

daisy tells me you're not very efficient

[matt]

Gordon-
Heres a challenge:
Make a 1 CD compilation using the so far published Trojan catelogue....

What would it be?

[Reggae Souldier (Big Five)]

i think i could do one of unreleased tunes on CD

[admin]

Okay I'll take up that challenge and post the results later.

It'll be along the lines of DJ Derek's but with better tunes, starting with Ska and moving through the eras.

Respect

Gordy

for the rocksteady erea include "Dreader than dread" by Honey Boy Martin.

yeah, give him a smite ;D ;D ;D ;D

[zapatoo]

Yes I do and I'm very appreciative of these

I'd say I was bored to buggery, but looking around, I can't see any ladies here at Vodafone who might be feeling the same

So I'm going home...cheesed off today.

[bmd]

When Did Clarke's Golden Snake come on A Trojan?

I'd buy it if it existed

[admin]

It's on the Hudson Affair double CD.

Also known as "Shades Of Hudson".

What's the story behind the title change again Zap mate and why are they both still for sale?

[bmd]

Ah, right, I supposed you meant as a 7".

[zapatoo]

I haven't seen the green cover before - it could be that before this was released the wrong artwork was sent to a few distributors or outlets and either the correct one wasn't sent to all or the recipient forgot to change to the correct one.

This happened with the Heptones "Peace & Harmony" double CD - where even the Trojan site doesn't have the correct front cover (or my CD is wrong!!!)

Here's the cover from Trojan:


...and Ernie B's has the right cover (select the CD button)

[ekki]

Amazon don't know shit about details

[django68]

Trojan occasionally put provisional artwork on their site, and I would guess that a couple of different designs are comissioned for each release. Maybe the wrong one design was sent out in the pre-release publicity.

Looking very fit there G. Lost a bit of weight right!? and growing a trendy beard. Very smart! Where'd you get the shirt?

I need to get my thing together! Will run around the common when I get back from the post office!
wjere the smily faces gone?

[admin]

Lost 3 stones since I was last down yours mate but put a stone back on at Christmas, so still 2 stone lighter

Bearing out django68's comment, another example is the upcoming "Reggae Sisters" album from Trojan:

The Trojan website shows:


The Sanctuary website shows:


I slightly prefer the lower of the 2 - I wonder which we'll get...

Mentioned on Trojan too:

[Richter Atmosphere]

Even more impressive than a Trojan-catalog-Gordy-selected-compilation in my opinion would be a no-tracks-barred "My JA Top Of 197X" set with the tracklistings that he posted about a year ago.

[admin]

Please tell me I posted those on the Trojan forum. If I posted them on BAF then they're gone....

I really should save stuff.

Respect

Gordy

[Richter Atmosphere]

Gordy, actually I was reading up on some Freedom Sounds label posts on BAF yesterday, since I've got a Prince Alla 7" repress on the way but am still missing the Sylvan White and Brent Dowe vocal cuts to complete a Freedom Sounds In Dub showcase set for myself. I think you mentioned the Brent Dowe song in one of your lists. So I think those lists are still up. I can PM them to you later today. I've got to get to work soon.

[admin]

I've found them

Respect

Gordy
