It's an ongoing process for me acquiring the Trojan boxsets. I have about 8 so far

Some are hit or miss. One of my favourites so far:

Trojan sets are a little harder to find online but I own it physically and can rip and up it over the next day if you like?

Hold that thought. I'm having serious "expansion issues". Anything non-.rar is a no go for me ATM.

^ Picked it up for about a fiver from some second hand place in Scotland. Great two-disc glance at first-wave ska that.

^ And this was my introduction to electronica beyond the New Order and Depeche Mode albums I had. Three discs of classic acid house compiled by none other than Peter Hook.

The Trojan comps are great stuff too. My favourites so far would probably be the ragga and roots ones.

That album brings back so many great memories. I bought it around 15 years ago, because of a devilish CD hording ex-girlfriend it's been about 12 years since I last listened to it. Great great Album!

I'm actually about to rip it to my iTunes in a minute or two - I can sort you a link if you want?

An awesome comp of instrumental soul/funk tracks that got me into a lot of good music. I bought this years ago, and still often listen to it.

Thanks for the recommendation, this looks really good. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on a copy.

Still working my way through all the great reggae and dub acts here.

Nuff said.
