Fantastic
I am not primarily a reggae fan, so I can't really talk about the development of the musical style, or where an album like this stands in reggae history.
However, I can say that it has a fantastic feel to it. The album, as the title suggests, raises issues to do with the legalisation of Gange. But despite its strong political overtones, it remains a fun and easy album to listen to.
The opening track has a wonderful synth part in the background, that only reggae records ever seem to possess. No hint of electronics, but a natural feel. I could go on and pick the best tracks, but I think I'd probably ending up saying them all, with the possible exception of the 3rd, as it has a cheesy synth part that seems out of place.

I suppose to any reggae fans better versed than I, all that can be said is that this is a valuable addition to a collection. For Marley fans looking for a little something extra, you could do a lot worse than this.

Tosh at his finest
After leaving the Wailers, it took Peter Tosh two years to find a record company willing to produce his music. The wait was well worth it.

There is something for everyone, and all side of Tosh are shown, the Rastaman, the millitant, the prophet, the philosopher. Where better to start than 'Legalize it, dont criticise it'?

Burial is classic Tosh and his fight against 'poli-tricks'. Igziabeher is a superb roots cut, and only Tosh could get away with singing about a Jamaican cricket game (Ketchy Shuby). His finest album. Miss it, miss out. As Tosh would say 'You never miss your water till your well runs dry'
