The
Peter Tosh entry in
Sony's
The Essential series of best-ofs is a reasonable selection from
Tosh's limited catalog of
Columbia Records recordings, which includes only two studio albums,
Legalize It (1976) and
Equal Rights (1977), plus a belatedly released concert album,
Live & Dangerous Boston 1976 (2001). In 1999,
Columbia/Legacy released
Scrolls of the Prophet: The Best of Peter Tosh, which included material from both the
Columbia studio albums and
Tosh's subsequent tenure on the
Rolling Stones and
EMI America labels (1978-1987), making that collection more comprehensive than this one. However,
The Essential does contain
"Why Must I Cry," an excellent song co-written by
Bob Marley that is not found on
Scrolls of the Prophet, as well as a live version of the
Wailers classic
"400 Years" also missing from the earlier disc.
