Don Letts A note from Don Letts...
"Before Don Letts and his 'punky reggae party' there was Trojan!

People forget how the growth of the skinhead movement (and we're talking the fashion not facist version here) helped to spread the music across the U.K long before I was d.j'ing down the Roxy.

For the likes of John Lydon, Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon and a legion of white working class youth this was the rebel sound of choice.

The Trojan catalogue remains a firm favourite of yours truly and continues to be a main ingredient in my d.j set to this very day."
Don Letts
