Legalize It

Peter Tosh's debut solo album is a real classic of Jamaican music, the epic title track has become a slogan for Marijuana reform laws across the world and one of Tosh's most beloved songs. It also includes "What You Gonna Do?", "Why Must I Cry", "Igziabeher" and "Ketchy Shuby" alongside updated versions of "No Sympathy", "Burial", "Till Your Well Runs Dry" and "Brand New Second Hand" which he had originally recorded as a member of The Wailers.The deluxe Legacy edition includes the original Jamaican recordings and demos, as well as dub mixes, alternate versions and outtakes, all of which are incredible to hear in remastered glory. The only track missing is "Ketchy Shuby Instrumental" which appeared on the single disc remastered release as a bonus track.A must own album for all music listeners.

Legalise ItI have reviewed separately “Scrolls of the prophet” – a 1976 - 78 selection (Best of?) of Peter Tosh musicThis is probably the first of the series of political records that he produced after leaving the Wailers , and whatever your views on the legal status of marijuana , .you cannot knock the classical Jamaican reggae and his tackling of so many political issues. Other reviews here on Amazon have listed the issues he tackled in his song writing. I am no classical Reggae fan and have come to the music late and yes it is 70’s music – and none the worse for that. Well worth exploring.

FAB ALBUM

Quite good sound

One of the best Roots Reggae albums of all time. Peter tosh was such a talented artist with an incredible voice. Must have!

Always loved this CD. Bought it on vinyl years ago and as I am too lazy to look for a stylus for my record player was really pleased to see it out on CD. Brought back many happy memories.

This along with Equal Rights is Peter Tosh at his most essential.

best album by Peter Tosh

Disappointed, the record skips like crazy. Doesn’t appear to have any physical damage but skips every few seconds. I’ve got an old warped abbey road album that plays better than this one “brand new”. Bit of a bummer

Premier album du Wailer Peter Tosh et, de part sa chanson titre, hymne à la libre fumette, Legalize It est ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler un grand classique du reggae.Attention, la libre fumette, pour Peter et ses amis Rastafari, c'est un machin spirituel, pas seulement une défonce de petit occidental trop bien nourri... Mystique ! Forcément, ça donne une autre portée au titre comme au reste d'un album combattant, pourtant le moins politique de la carrière de Sir Tosh ici à ses prémices (Legalize It est le premier album après la rupture d'avec Bob "vous-savez-qui"et ses Wailers).Musicalement, c'est un Rolls Reggae Roots qui nous est proposée. Et un line-up de toute première bourre avec les bientôt légendaires Sly & Robbie à la rythmique, un bout des I-Threes, exceptionnellement délogées de chez les Wailers et présentement supplémenté de Bunny Wailer venu prêter la voix à son vieux pote, aux chaeurs... Etc. (du lourd !). Et d'excellentes chansons avec, en particulier, le précité Legalize It, le fataliste et émouvant Why Must I Cry ou le joyeux Ketchy Shuby. Juste quelques exemples, highlights, d'un album appréciable de bout en bout.Un classique le Tosh inaugural ?

Edición de doble vinilo que esta mu bien, tiene el disco original y el segundo disco son versiones del primero pero en dub...get high!!Llegó en perfectas condiciones y en la fecha indicada.

A bought a used copy and it came in pretty good quality. Peter Tosh on vinyl is priceless so it's definitely worth the buy for any reggae head.

... liebt auch diese LP!Guter Sound - bin komplett zufrieden!
