Torrent description
TROJAN SKA BOX SET - THROUGHOUT THE FIFTIES in Jamaica the place to hear the most happening sounds were the sound system dances held at any venue large enough to contain a sizeable fee-paying audience, these glorified discos were organised and run by anyone able to afford to operate and transport the equipment to a suitable site. Over time, sound system owners such as Arthur \'Duke\' Reid and Clement Seymour \'Coxsone\' Dodd expanded their operations and became respected and revered figures on the island, with their dances attracting large loyal followings.
By far the most popular music among Jamaican audiences at this time was the hard-hitting New Orleans style of Rhythm & Blues, as performed by artists such as Smiley Lewis, Roy Brown and Fats Domino, and to acquire the newest, most obscure of these releases, operators made frequent forays to the U.S. This procedure of obtaining records for their systems continued until the end of the decade when certain developments had occurred which had major repercussions for Jamaican music in the years ahead. The most influential of these was the demise of the style of Rhythm & Blues so favoured by young Jamaicans. By now American music was starting to lose it\'s raw edge and the more polished sounds of soul had begun to supersede the less sophisticated style of it\'s earthier forerunner. In addition, the operators\' cartel on U.S. releases was being severely challenged by a small number of entrepreneurs who had begun importing records direct from the States, enabling almost anyone the opportunity to obtain records previously only heard at dances. The final threat to the domination of the sound systems came with the growing popularity of jukeboxes, the distribution of which had become a major industry on the island.
