Home / Reggae & Dub / Police and Thieves
Defined by its falsetto title track and Perry's production, a sweet yet urgent roots classic. Melodic and influential. Essential reggae. Released in 1977, it's a standout in Junior Murvin's catalogue.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
