VIA PRESS RELEASE | 1969 release from one of the most legendary acts in the rich history of Jamaican music, a landmark album for both the band and the entire reggae genre, first-ever vinyl reissue available at music retail.
Real Gone Music and Vinyl Voice Editions are proud to present one of the greatest and most consequential reggae albums of all time, the 1969 release Sweet and Dandy from Toots and the Maytals. Not only was this the record that premiered two all-time reggae classics, “Sweet and Dandy” and “Pressure Drop,” that were later part of the legendary The Harder They Come soundtrack, but it also marked the first time the Maytals were billed as Toots and the Maytals, thus paving the way for Toots Hibbert to assume his rightful mantle as one of the most revered vocalists in all of Jamaican music.
Originally produced by the great Leslie Kong for his Beverley’s label, this one’s a cornerstone of any reggae collection—yet, it’s never been reissued on LP to music retail. For this release, we have pressed up a yellow vinyl edition, hand-numbered, and limited to 1,000 copies.
