PETER TOSH Legalize It (2011 Japanese exclusive First Pressing Legacy edition Remastered 32-track 2-CD album - Originally released in 1976, 'Legalize It' was Peter Tosh's debut album and, following years spent as a core member of The Wailers, announced with a bold statement his arrival as a solo artist.
