Toots & The Maytals - FUNKY KINGSTON is a 1975 reissue LP release of a 1973 recording on the Island label # ILPS-9330.
Toots & the Maytals' first LP for Chris Blackwell was originally released in the early '70s, and it includes solid sides like "Pomp and Pride," a whacked-out restructuring of Richard Berry's "Louie, Louie," and the wonderful title track, "Funky Kingston." Blackwell reissued a bulked-up version of Funky Kingston in the mid-'70s on his Mango subsidiary, adding in the immortal "Pressure Drop," the brilliant "Time Tough," and a reimagining of John Denver's "Country Roads" (simply called "Country Road"), to make a much better and stronger set.
The jacket shows wear on the front, back, edges & corners. The record is in VG to VG+ condition.
