Peter Tosh & Eric Clapton
Legalize It Sessions 1976
Kingston, Jamaica

Soundboard Recording
Encoded: 320 Kbps MP3

And now for something reeaalllly rare, something that might not only interest reggae fans: these are alternate versions of Peter Tosh’s first solo release after the breakup of the original Wailers, “Legalize it”… and the labelling of the rather old tape I copied claims that Eric Clapton participated in these sessions. Now it is well known that Clapton did spend considerable (recording) time in Jamaica in the early and mid-’70s; however I have absolutely no way of judging if it is indeed his guitar work we hear throughout the songs - maybe some of the Clapton experts can tell us. But even if he was not among the players of instruments, these are still alternate versions of (imho) Tosh’s second best album, inferior only to “Equal Rights”. In these days Peter would still on one side heavily rely on the Wailers musicians but then also begin to steer towards the Sly & Robbie team who would join him later on in his career.
