Home / Reggae & Dub / Funky Kingston
Joyful, soul-soaked reggae powered by Toots Hibbert's gospel-strength voice. Warm and irresistible. One of the great feel-good records of the genre. Released in 1973, it's an early landmark for Toots and the Maytals.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
