Short story:

Trojan Records is launched by Island Records as a showcase for the productions of Jamaican Duke Reid. The new label's name is derived from the seven ton Leyland 'Trojan' trucks used to transport the producer's huge sound system around Jamaica, with the slogan 'Duke Reid, The Trojan King Of Sounds' emblazoned on their sides.
