PETER TOSH Equal Rights (2009 issue UK 10-track CD album - On 1977's 'Equal Rights', Tosh took a more militant stance; preaching about unity amongst the African diaspora ['African'], protesting conditions in South Africa ['Apartheid'], and elsewhere a more general call to arms. Downpresser Man [based on a folk standard], 'Stepping Razor', and his definitive version of 'Get Up, Stand Up' are as good a trio of songs as you will find on any album. Tosh's singing is angry and forceful andthe 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. It comes with two live songs recorded in 1982: the album's 'African', and 'Pick Myself Up', from 1978's 'Bush Doctor'.)
