Trojan Box Set series

The "Trojan Box Set" series is a range of various artist triple CD box sets, periodically released by UK reggae record label Trojan Records since 1998. The series covers a wide variety of reggae sub-genres, styles and themes. To date, 69 box sets have been released.

Each set has standard formatting:

*TITLE: "Trojan [GENRE/STYLE/THEME] Box Set" (except "RAS" and "Creole Reggae")

*ARTWORK: Colourful, distinctive variation on a generic design, with the Trojan logo as the central motif (except "Upsetter", "RAS", "Creole Reggae" and "Reggae For Kids")

*NUMBER OF TRACKS: 50 (except "12" with 35 and "Reggae Rarities" with 51)

*PACKAGING: Minimalist clamshell cardboard box with an individual slipcase for each disc plus basic track info and/or liner notes

Despite being billed as "limited edition", all sets have remained widely available. The series is a low-priced, highly popular product line in the Trojan catalogue, offering a generous, value-for-money introduction to reggae music.
