In 1966 Toots Hibbert was sent to jail for marijuana

possession -- he had spent the previous four years

performing with fellow Kingston natives Jerry

Mathias & Raleigh Gordon (known together as "The

Maytals"). Hibbert penned an impressive catalogue

of songs while incarcerated & immediately upon

release he reunited with bandmates and entered the

studio with the strange & brilliant producer Leslie

Kong. Kong had a keen ear for pop and soul. In less

than 2 years he recorded a catalogue of singles that

would prove legendary. One of these tracks,

"Pressure Drop," made it onto this 1971 release. The

song was immortalised on the film soundtrack "The

Harder They Come." , and was also covered by The

Clash who turned it into a cross-genre punk hit..

Also, the album’s famous title track “Monkey Man”

has been covered many times, notably by The

Specials and Amy Winehouse.

The remastering on this MOV re-issue is excellent.

This is the motherload of absolutely brilliant

Hibbert/Kong songs, they represent an historic

moment in the history of Jamaican music. Available

as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered

copies on orange coloured vinyl.
