One Quote of a Book from the Unit Bibliography
The story of Trojan Records
- QUOTE
“Sometime reggae producer Eddie Airey, who had been enlisted to fill the vacant A&R position, did not last much longer, and left the role to another Jamaican-born musician, Lloyd Seivright. Others to join to the Trojan fold at this time included music journalist Tony Cummings, who was given the task of promoting the label and its acts to the press and clubs, and a new Trojan general manager was found in the extremely capable Clive Stanhope, whose previous experience included managing the independent, Dart Records.”
(Laurence,2018)
- PARAPHRASE
Former reggae producer Eddie Airey, who had been hired to fill the open A&R post, did not stay in the position for very long and handed the job over to another musician with Jamaican ancestry, Lloyd Seivright. The music journalist Tony Cummings, who was tasked with promoting the label and its bands to the press and clubs, and a new Trojan general manager—the incredibly talented Clive Stanhope, who had previously managed the independent Dart Records—also joined the Trojan family at this time.
