"Trojan Records have today announced a new compilation album Rise Jamaica! Jamaican Independence Special to celebrate Jamaica’s 60th year of independence. The album, out on double CD, double vinyl and digital, will be released on 5th August and will celebrate the hugely influential sounds of the island nation.
Marking the 60th anniversary of Jamaica’s independence in August 2022, this celebratory collection will showcase an array of the island’s major hits as well as previously unissued tracks, all of which were recorded in 1962, the year that the island became a sovereign nation. The album will be available as a limited edition 28 track 2LP colour vinyl set (Disc 1 Green Vinyl & Disc 2 Yellow Vinyl) and also as an expanded 50 track 2CD Digipack."
That is the official Trojan Reggae press release, but I'd like to add this.
If my reggae posts have piqued your curiousity about the music even the slightest, there is no better way to start a collection than with this brilliant set. It's pure bliss from head to tail. I can only hope that this continues as a yearly series.
