Cultural Facts:

1. Scene Ecology: Trojan’s ’80s comps kept late-’60s/early-’70s Jamaican hits cheap and circulating in UK shops, DJ bags, and sound systems.

2. Media Narrative: These songs got absorbed into UK youth subcultures (“skinhead reggae,” revivals), often stripped from their Jamaican context.

3. Personal Struggle: Maytals singer Toots Hibbert was jailed in 1966 on a marijuana charge; the experience became part of his life-long public story.
