The Maytals - Sweet and Dandy

Trojan Records is proud to announce The Essential Artist Collection, a brand new series of artist-focused compilation albums showcasing some of the very best talent from the label’s esteemed roster. Championing their stellar catalogues, the series will highlight the most important ska and reggae tracks from the most influential artists and vocal/instrumental groups with each title available on double colour vinyl, double CD and digital formats

First in the series to be announced are The Skatalites and The Maytals, both of which are OUT NOW.

Led by the dynamic Frederick ‘Toots’ Hibbert, The Maytals are highly regarded as one of the greatest singing trios in the history of Jamaican music, scoring hit after hit on the island’s charts during an incredible career spanning six decades. The new collection brings together the very best of their work, including their rock steady and early recordings for Leslie Kong’s revered Beverley’s Records during the late Sixties and early Seventies; a period that spawned ground-breaking work such as ’54 46 Was My Number’, ‘Monkey Man’ and ‘Do the Reggay’, to name but a few. It also includes numerous classics such as ‘Sweet And Dandy’, ‘Pressure Drop’ and ‘Night And Day’, demonstrating just why the unforgettable music of The Maytals will continue to be loved for many years to come

The Essential Artist Collection series will continue throughout 2023 with more legendary artists announced in due course.
