Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop: The Definitive Collection (+2 Bonus Tracks) * Artist: Toots & The Maytals See Also: Maytals (The) Description:Import version with two bonus tracks. With their heavy soul influence, Toots & the Maytals--consisting of vocalists Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, Nathaniel "Jerry" Mathias, and Henry "Raleigh" Gordon--were reggae pioneers. They melded American R&B harmonies to shuffling Jamaican rhythms in the 1960s and expanded the genre`s parameters with unusual cover tunes in the `70s. PRESSURE DROP: THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION, is a two-disc set that presents 49 Maytals tracks primarily recorded between `64 and `75, including successful early singles such as the percussive "Bam Bam" and incarceration tale "54-46 That`s My Number" (based on Toots`s real-life jail time for alleged drug possession). By 1968, the group settled into a string of hits, most notably the energetic "Pressure Drop" (later covered by the Clash) and "Monkey Man" (subsequently performed by the Specials). In the `70s, Toots & the Maytals garnered attention for their funky take on the rock & roll classic "Louie Louie" and an inventive, gospel-tinged rendition of John Denver`s "(Take Me Home) Country Roads." Though there are many Maytals collections on the market, PRESSURE DROP is one of the finest overviews of the trio`s first decade.Track Listing: •DISC 1 1.Broadway Jungle 2.My Daily Food 3.If You Act This Way 4.You Make Me Feel The Way I Do 5.It`s You (Ska Version) 6.Daddy 7.Never You Change (Ska Version) 8.What`s On Your Mind 9.When I Laugh 10.My New Name 11.She Will Never Let Me Down 12.Peggy 13.Bam Bam 14.5446 That`s My Number 15.Struggle 16.Just Tell Me 17.We Shall Overcome 18.Bim Today (Bam Tomorrow) 19.Schooldays 20.Do The Reggay 21.Don`t Trouble Trouble 22.Scare Him 23.Alidina 24.Pressure Drop 25.Sweet & Dandy 26.Monkey Man 27.She`s My Scorcher 28.Bla Bla Bla 29.Doctor Lester (Aka African Doctor) 30.5446 Was My Number 31.Peeping Tom 32.It Must Be True Love 33.One Eye Enos 34.Monkey Girl 35.It`s You (Reggae Version) 36.Walk With Love 37.Johnny Coolman 38.Never You Change (Reggae Version) 39.Redemption Song 40.Louie Louie 41.Pomps & Pride 42.It Was Written Down 43.Sit Right Down 44.(Take Me Home) Country Roads 45.Funky Kingston 46.In The Dark 47.Sailing On 48.Fever 49.Time Tough 50.Reggae Got Soul 51.Broaway Jungle (2000 Version) (bonus track) Album Information
