The set, which picks up where Trojan’s widely acclaimed skinhead reggae set, ‘Haunted House’ left off a decade ago was compiled and annotated by the late Michael de Koningh, and comprises faithful reproductions of 8 of the most collectable Trojan 7″ singles from the golden age of boss sounds.

Presented in a handsomely designed box, all of the records are housed in a card sleeve that replicates the classic design of the late sixties and early seventies, while the set also includes a stylish card insert, featuring eye-catching imagery and a fascinating essay on the original ‘boss reggae’ sound and each of the singles.

With original copies of all eight discs in the collection now exchanging hands for three figure sums, ‘Spirit Of 69’ at last provides fans of the boss reggae sound the opportunity to possess some of the finest and rarest 45s of the era without needing to break the bank!
