Review - :
Although the original incarnation of {$Toots & the Maytals} ({$Toots Hibbert}, {$Nathaniel "Jerry" McCarthy}, and {$Raleigh Gordon}) parted ways in 1981 ({$Toots} continues to tour with a revamped version of {$the Maytals}), they managed between the years 1964 and 1974, the period covered by this two-disc retrospective from {@Trojan Records}, to assemble one of the most highly charged and distinctive bodies of work in the history of Jamaican music. Led by {$Toots}' Kingston-by-way-of-Memphis lead vocals and the ragged call-and-response background singing of {$McCarthy} and {$Gordon}, the trio created {\gospel}-fueled {\reggae} classics like {&"Bam Bam,"} {&"54-46 Was My Number,"} {&"Monkey Man,"} {&"Sweet and Dandy,"} {&"Pomps and Pride,"} {&"Funky Kingston,"} and the immortal {&"Pressure Drop,"} all of which carried the stomp and wallop of the best and most enduring {\soul} music of the day. Later gems like {&"In the Dark"} and {&"Time Tough"} kept the stomp and added wise and insightful lyrics to create classic songs that still ring solid and true 30 years later. {^Pressure Drop: The Definitive Collection} brings together the best tracks from those crucial years, including sides produced by {$Ken Khouri}, {$Byron Lee}, {$Ronnie Nasralla}, {$Warrick Lyn}, and {$Delroy Williams} (he produced the 2000 remake of {&"Broadway Jungle"} that is included here), as well as several tracks produced by the great {$Leslie Kong}, arguably the most sympathetic to {$the Maytals}' sound. {@Island}'s two-disc {^Time Tough} anthology adds more early {\ska} sides along with some post-1974 material to give a better portrait of {$the Maytals}' complete history, but the heart and soul of their reputation is still based on what you'll hear in this set. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
