More Info:

Vinyl LP reissue of this 1973 album by Toots & the Maytals. It was their first album produced by Chris Blackwell (head of Island Records). The better known US version is a compilation of the original Funky Kingston and their second album, in the Dark. It is notable for the Maytals' biggest hit, "Pressure Drop", as well as unlikely cover songs, such as a Reggae version of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads", which replaces the lyrical reference to West Virginia with West Jamaica. 10 tracks. Universal. 2009.
