Product Details

Recorded in 1976, the same year Tosh formally parted ways with the Wailers, *Legalize It* arrived as an unambiguous statement of purpose, its title track becoming one of reggae's most recognizable anthems and landing Tosh on the Jamaican government's radar for open defiance. Where Marley's solo work leaned toward the transcendent, Tosh's debut cut straight to confrontation, establishing the political voice that would define his decade of work with Columbia Records.

Peter Tosh was a founding member of Jamaican reggae legends the Wailers along with Bob Marley. With his rough-and-tumble sound and image, Tosh gave the early incarnation of the Wailers an edge that was informed by Ska and it's "Rude Boy" lifestyle. In the mid-70's he split from the group and he embarked on a solo career with the pro-marijuana album Legalize It. Unfortunately, in 1987, Tosh was gunned down during an incident at his home in Kingston, ending the life of a reggae innovator.
