Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from The Wailers, Peter Tosh unleashed this fiercely militant, deeply uncompromised manifesto of pan-African liberation. 'Equal Rights' is a profoundly political, highly conscious roots reggae triumph, driven by incredibly rhythmic, warm instrumentation and Tosh's remarkably rebellious, distinctly sarcastic protest anthems.
