Le mythique label anglais Trojan, chargé un temps de distribuer la musique jamaïcaine en Angleterre, a récemment sorti deux best-ofs d'artistes disparus mais incontournables de la musique yardie : le prince du reggae Dennis Brown et le roi du dub King Tubby. Toutes deux composés de deux CDs, les compilations rassemblent chacune des titres essentiels de la carrière des deux hommes. Le premier regroupe notamment Money In My Pocket, Revolution, Wolves And Leopards ou encore Sitting And Wathcing, et le second Kingston Town Dub avec The Dynamites, la version du Stalag avec les Techniques ou encore Curly Dub avec Augustus Pablo.
