Toots & The Maytals
Sailin' On: Live At The Roxy, 1975
180-gram LP with insert. By the mid-'70s, the profile of Jamaica's largest and most successful export was chiefly headed
by Bob Marley & The Wailers, with their exotic and exciting brand of Jamaican roots music. By 1975, the USA was grasping
the phenomenon with the release of Toots & the Maytals' 1973 album Funky Kingston. It was a move that would inevitably
open doors for the band and while they could never match Bob Marley or Peter Tosh's commercial appeal abroad, their
significance and legacy in reggae music is unmatched. Riding high on their new recognition, Toots & the Maytals rolled
into Los Angeles on October 1, 1975, performing a blistering set of new and old material. That night, the Roxy Theatre
played host to an explosion of authentic Jamaican rocksteady reggae sounds in a show that recalls the legacies of James
Brown, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Bob Marley's own appearance there in 1976. Klondike proudly presents the entire
original KMET-FM broadcast of this performance, professionally remastered with background liners and rare archival
photos.
