Peter Tosh The Best of Peter Tosh 1978-1987 Numbered Limited Edition 180g Import 2LP (Silver Vinyl)

The words ''Wolde Senayet'' are scrawled in silver ink across a black-and-white image of Peter Tosh on the cover of Best Of 1978 - 1987. these words are an honorific Rastafarian title meaning ''Son of Thunder," which does this collection justice. The 14-track compilation is seamless in their quality and are more than representative of Tosh's vision — one that has been adopted and reworked in all sorts of reggae subgenres since his death.

Listen to classics like ''Bush Doctor,'' ''Mystic Man,'' ''Oh Bumbo Klaat,'' ''The Day the Dollar Die,'' and of course the single version of ''(You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back'' with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.

Best Of 1978 - 1987 is available on vinyl for the first time as a limited edition of 2,000 individually numbered copies on silver colored vinyl. This 2LP is housed in a gatefold sleeve, including a 4-page photo booklet.

If any figure in popular music deserved to be reconsidered for the entirety of his contribution, Tosh is such an artist, and this collection proves it. Therefore, as Bruce Cockburn so aptly put it in a song long ago: 'All you can do is praise the razor/For the fineness of the slash.' Tosh was the razor; these are his beautiful wounds. Praise them, for they are worthy.
