| 180-gram LP with insert. By the mid-'70s, the profile of Jamaica's largest and most successful export was chiefly headed by Bob Marley & The Wailers, with their exotic and exciting brand of Jamaican roots music. By 1975, the USA was grasping the phenomenon with the release of Toots & the Maytals' 1973 album Funky Kingston. It was a move that would inevitably open doors for the band and while they could never match Bob Marley or Peter Tosh's commercial appeal abroad, their significance and legacy in reggae music is unmatched. Riding high on their new recognition, Toots & the Maytals rolled into Los Angeles on October 1, 1975, performing a blistering set of new and old material. That night, the Roxy Theatre played host to an explosion of authentic Jamaican rocksteady reggae sounds in a show that recalls the legacies of James Brown, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Bob Marley's own appearance there in 1976. Klondike proudly presents the entire original KMET-FM broadcast of this performance, professionally remastered with background liners and rare archival photos. |
