There are interviews with lots of old reggae gods, several of whom are no longer with us five years later (Toots, Lee Perry, Bunny Lee). Dandy Livingstone, aged 74, features throughout because he's so good to listen to. He has a beautiful speaking voice, is very composed and happy to share memories. At one point, he sits down at his keyboard and sings a bit of 'A Message to You, Rudy', and it's just wonderful.
There are dramatizations of Jamaicans in London in the 60s and 70s that are low key and not jarring or cringey like you might expect.
'If that shuffle not in the music, it's not reggae' - Bunny Lee.

Superb look at the roots of the Iconic Trojan records
My dad was a DJ in the 70's and had stacks of Trojan 45s. This music soaked into the walls of our house as i was growing up. I really enjoyed this creation story of the label and there are some great narrators guiding us through who were there at the time. Loved it.
