Black Vinyl Reissue

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 its “Rude Boy” lifestyle. In the mid-’70s he split from the group and embarked on a solo career with the pro-marijuana album Legalize It. Unfortunately, Tosh was gunned down during an incident at his home in Kingston in 1987, ending the life of a reggae innovator.
