Equal Rights

Peter Tosh

2009 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this Reggae classic including two bonus tracks: live versions of 'Pick Myself Up' and 'African' recorded in '82. On 1977's Equal Rights, Tosh took a more militant stance; preaching about unity amongst the African diaspora, protesting conditions in South Africa, and elsewhere a more general call to arms. Tosh's singing is angry and forceful and the music is intricate and distinctive. The album propelled Tosh to the top of the Reggae world and remains among the handful of best, and most influential, Reggae albums ever recorded. The album features heavyweights of Jamaican music and members of The Wailers and Peter Tosh's backing band, Word, Sound and Power. These include: Bunny Wailer, Carlton and Aston Barrett, Sly & Robbie, Al Anderson, Rita Marley, Mikey Chung and others. 10 tracks. EMI.
