Artist:  Peter Tosh

Title:  Mama Africa

Date:  1983

Label:  EMI America   SO-17095

Cover Art:  Mervin Palmer  21-08-82

Notes:  With a cast of musicians numbering in the "very many" range, featuring Sly and Robbie among the throng, this is a good record for fans of the book of Peter. "Stop That Train" and "Johnny B. Goode" stand out as the real gems here, but the entire record is worth your attention. The loping, rolling sway of the island sound and the serious message of music is Peter's stock n trade. A good record with a great cover. Can't ask for more than that.
