Peter Tosh – Equal Rights

Description

The first two solo albums by Peter Tosh on Columbia Records were cornerstones of the roots-rock-reggae movement: ‘Legalize It’ (1976) and ‘Equal Rights’ (1977). ‘Equal Rights’ brought together Peter Tosh’s dedications to the revolutionary movements growing in Africa, and 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. Both ‘Legalize It’ and ‘Equal Rights’ will be commemorated with the release of Expanded Vinyl Editions.
