Peter Tosh – the original outlaw artist Three-disc package delivers rare recordings, previously unseen complete “Stepping Razor” documentary

Exclusive footage of the “Steppin Razor: Red X” the as yet unreleased of reggae legend Peter Tosh.
Tosh is the original outlaw artist. From his time as a founding member of Bob Marley and The Wailers to signing to Mick Jagger’s label to his death at the hands of Jamaican thugs, Peter Tosh was ready to set it quicker than any artist living or dead.

The “Steppin Razor” DVD is a part of a documentary shot at the end of Peter’s life. As you see in the film, Peter felt vampires were out to take his life. While cinematic in nature his vision proved eerily true.

The “Peter Tosh Experience” IS IN STORES NOW

—————-

Along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh formed The Wailers-Jamaica’s equivalent of The Beatles-and when that super-group splintered in the early Seventies all three Wailers went on to achieve worldwide fame with acclaimed solo careers. Peter Tosh was a bonafide international star with such anthems as “Get Up Stand Up”, “Legalize It” and “Equal Rights” but he was also a significant political activist who was arrested in anti-apartheid protest, invited to address the United Nations, and who wore Arab garb when performing in solidarity with the Palestinian Liberation movement.

Tosh was met by his own untimely death in 1987 when he was murdered in Jamaica in 1987 at the age of 44, shortly after the release of his No Nuclear War album. Peter Tosh’s murder was validation of his long-time assertion that there were many people who wanted him dead.

Peter Tosh was born in Westmoreland parish, Jamaica on October 19, 1944. By age fifteen he had moved to Kingston and, in the Trenchtown ghetto where he settled, met other musically-inclined youths such as Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, with whom he formed The Wailers in 1964. The international breakthrough came when Island Records’ Chris Blackwell signed them in 1972 and bankrolled their debut album Catch A Fire, the first true reggae album in the singles’ dominated genre.

Peter Tosh’s debut album Legalize It garnered instant world-wide notoriety on release in 1976; the title track, which argued that marijuana should be legal, was banned as a single in Jamaica. The recording of the No Nuclear War album and planning of an extensive world-wide tour signaled his re-emergence. On the eve of the tour however, a former convict confronted Peter at his house, with armed accomplices, demanding money. When Peter said he had no money there, they opened fire, killing Peter and others.
