must have for your collection
Tosh is one of the best vocalists - pure, direct, and deep; matter of fact, spoken, and rhythmic - that reggae or for that matter any other genre has seen. Sure it's only got nine tracks, but this is an excellent assembly of classics from one of reggae's best ever.


there were actually 2 releases to this album
S. one being european and the other in the U. . . . and of course the U. S version being the watered down 1 so you arent going to get the songs that were otherwise intended for the version your looking for ,unless of course thats the version you were looking for.


Grow up 12 year old music fan
Peter Tosh is brilliant and he IS reggae. What is it with these whiney kids who think that because a song or two have been left out that the entire album or cd is shot? Peter Tosh is truly a musician through and through and to disrespect the dead, but living soul based on two left out songs is a shame within itself.

Go listen to some John Tesh if you really want disappointment you little snot nosed sissy!.


not the original
They have added some songs which were not on the original LP, and removed some of the best songs that were on the LP. a fair warning to everyone who is thinking of buying this cd as a complement their LP-collection of Tosh music. Where is "Bumbo klaat" and "Guide me from my friends"?? Two strong tracks which were among my favorites on the LP. This is bad, very bad. Im not gonna buy it.


You can almost feel what Peter felt...Powerful!
Peter sends his message in an obviously militant manner in this recording. Wanted Dread and Alive is a must have for the fans of reggae. That is not to say that the songs are not beautiful. They are. Peter was not one to conform to anyone else's standards, but stayed true to his own beliefs right until the day he was brutally laid to rest, but he left behind a proud catalog of his musical creations. This is not MY personal favorite by Peter, but, with the exception of two of the songs, it contains some of my favorite reggae songs.

Cold Blood sort of gives you the feel for Peter's defiance towards the system of "justice". The song has nice back-up singing and really good music. This and the title song are my two favorites. The only two I can do without are Nothing but Love which is kind of a 70's soulful throwback song. Don't get me wrong, if I were making a soulful cd compilation with some 60's and 70's r&b or soul I would definately add this for a nice pace change as it has a nice quality sound to it. I just don't feel that it belongs with this cd. Also the final song Fools Die seems to be out of place here. A nice song, but very very slow and I don't like the keyboard bell sounding instrumentation.

Reggae-Mylitis, Coming in Hot, The Poor Man Feel It, Rastafari Is, and That's What They Will Do are a very good set of reggae and fit right in on this 5 star cd. I can give it 5 stars because even though two songs don't seem to belong, they do have a good sound for what they are and that is not necessarily bad.
