Peter Tosh’s most “accessible” solo album, Mama Africa, would also be his best seller outside Jamaica, the only one his albums to break into the U.K. Top 50 and even push into the bottom reaches of the U.S. charts.

Tosh concentrated on the music, self-producing an album that sounds fantastic from start to finish. Every track on the album is just as memorable in its own way, as the artist combines styles, genres, moods, and atmospheres across songs old and new.

The album revisits while looking to the future. Updated songs like “Stop That Train”, “Johnny B. Goode”, a U.K. Top 50 hit that boasts an intricate rhythm, are included.

Bush Doctor is the third studio album by Jamaican reggae musician Peter Tosh. Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer he was one of the core members of the band The Wailers (1963–1974). Tosh also established himself as a successful solo artist. In 1978 he was contracted by Rolling Stones Records and the album Bush Doctor was released in the same year, introducing Tosh to a larger audience.

The single from the album, a cover version of The Temptations song "Don't Look Back", performed as a duet with Mick Jagger, made Tosh one of the best-known reggae artists. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is also featured on the album, playing guitar on "Bush Doctor" and "Stand Firm".

The re-issue with remastered audio is pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.

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. Each double LP package will contain fully remastered audio and Dub versions that were previously only available on very limited edition Jamaican dub plates. Both releases will include 2 detailed inserts.

• 180 grams audiophile vinyl
• Remastered Audio

Peter Tosh left the Wailers to pursue a solo career and in 1976, he released this bold statement proving he was a creative force in his own right. Often recognized as one of the best albums in Reggae history, Legalize It, features the hit anthem of the same name as well as Why Must I Cry, co-written by Bob Marley and it firmly established Tosh's position as a giant of the genre.

Legacy Recordings has gone to great lengths to present this classic album exactly the way it was originally intended, with all the warmth and nuance that only vinyl can offer!
