During the scorching Jamaican summer of 1966, widespread dissatisfaction over the failure of the island’s government to
address social problems ultimately resulted in a sea of violence in and around Kingston.

As the perpetrators of the unrest, regarded by the authorities as ‘rude boys’ or hooligans, battled with the authorities for
control of the streets, their activities became the subject of numerous recordings by a variety of local acts, with popularity
of the discs on the island lasting well beyond the period of mass civil unrest.

Featured here are a dozen of the best-known ‘rude boy’ tracks, recorded from late ‘66 to early ’67, this essential collection
in Trojan’s genre-themed series is pressed on high quality vinyl housed in a handsomely designed sleeve that conveys an authentic yet contemporary feel.
