Legendary reggae artist, Peter Tosh’s, first two solo albums, Legalize It and Equal Rights, will be commemorated by Legacy Recordings. These “cornerstones of the roots-rock-reggae movement” will include previously unreleased material from the original recording sessions as well as essays by Reggae scholar Roger Steffens and former manager Herbie Miller.“A quarter century later,” Steffens writes, “[Tosh’s] songs ring eternal with millions of strugglers worldwide, still crying out for equal rights and justice with the words of the immortal Minister of Herb.”
After spending “more than a decade” with the Wailers and Bob Marley and with Bunny Livingston, “Legalize It, Tosh’s first album as a solo artist”.“Equal Rights brought together Peter Tosh’s dedications to the revolutionary movements growing in Africa, and the mysticism and wonders of his personal growth as a prophet, poet, preacher and world-class musical trailblazer. The album included a number of songs that became human rights anthems over the next two decades: ‘Get Up, Stand Up,’ ‘Downpressor Man,’ ‘African,’ ‘Apartheid,’ and the title tune.”
