VA - The Trojan Mod Reggae Collection (2009) [2 CD]

Jamaican music has long since enjoyed considerable popularity on the Mod scene. In the '60s, Ska, R&B and Jazz 45s were the staple musical diet of the original stylists, while in the late '70s, second generation Mods embraced the British Ska revival that drew heavily upon Jamaican music of the previous decade. Today, the underground Mod fraternity continues to flourish and at its very core is the Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae music that since its earliest days has provided a backdrop to the whole scene. This eclectic double disc collection of the Reggae and R&B sounds that proved irresistible to Mods features seminal artists such as Lee Perry, Toots & The Maytals, Jimmy Cliff and The Skatalites.
