only for those who want best of's
Having said that I do own 9 Peter Tosh CD's and every song on this album is on those 9. I don't own this particular album as I tend to stay away from best of's (you miss way too much good music). This album does seem to have a pretty fair track list but as with all greatest hit or best of's you miss too many good songs. Peter tosh is one of those artists that you really need to get as many of his individual albums as you can to hear some of his best work. But if you only want the best of's then this one is pretty good but I would recomend you get "Legalize It" and "Equal Rights" to go with it,atleast, otherwise you lose everything on his first 2 solo albums.


Not So Tough
A few more tracks from No Nuclear War would've hurt. Even though this album was created immediately after Tosh's death, they still could've done better job than this. Lessons In My Life and Nah Goa Jail would of did this album some justice. The Day The Dollar Die, Not Gonna Give It Up (Album Version), & Glass House would of also perfected it, and adding The Toughest would've made since. I know that Legalize It and Equal Rights were made on Columbia Records so I understand why they haven't made the line-up. Overall I give it a C.

-DJ.


Pretty good
I didn't realize it was a best of when I purchased it - given that it is, I'm less impressed with it than when I thought it was an original album. Pretty good reggae CD. It's still good though. "Reggaemylitis" is one of my favorite reggae songs and "Coming In Hot" and "Pick Myself Up" are very good as well. Mick Jagger appears (uncredited) on "Don't Look Back. " Here's the video:

Crucial to any Collection
Some people think it's not a fair overview of Tosh's music and I agree (this cd doesn't go near any of his work before 1978 which is actually stronger than anything he did later), but I gave it 5 stars anyway because 1) His later recordings were geared to an international audience and this cd is the perfect introduction to the average Joe who thinks Bob Marley's the only reggae artist worth taking interest in; and 2)His first two albums, 'Legalize It' and 'Equal Rights' are powerful enough by themselves to stand up to any 'best of' cd and it would be too hard to pick tracks for a compilation, making 'Toughest' a perfect 3rd installment to two already classic sets. This is one of the greatest reggae cd's of all time! It should be in everyone's collection right next to Bob Marley's 'Legend'. The three of them together create an excellent trilogy of Peter Tosh greats!. . . . . P. S. As other reviewers have pointed out, the tracklist here does not go with this cd. However there is another 'Toughest' Peter Tosh cd with these tracks and who ever did this page has mixed the wrong cover picture with the wrong tracks! The cd I'm reviewing starts with 'Comming in Hot'.


The Toughest?
I would watch out for this, as you may not get what you're expecting. I don't know what album this tracklist is from, but my copy of "The Toughest" that I've had for 10 years, is only 11 tracks, and it starts with "Coming in Hot", and ends with "In my Song". As for my cd, it's some of the best reggae I've ever heard, and rivals Bob Marley's "Legend" as the best of the genre. Of course "Peter Tosh" has numerous collections out, so you should be able to find what you want on most of them.
