Legalise It produced by Peter Tosh, Bunny Striker Lee for Intel Diplo, Island, Jah Bless in 1975
Legalise It Riddim comes from Peter Tosh and Bunny Striker Lee for Intel Diplo, Island and Jah Bless, first cut in 1975 and rooted in the same herb anthem that Tosh made famous. The lineup pairs Tosh’s original Legalise It and its version with Johnny Clarke’s 1976 take, while later revival cuts from Eccleton Jarrett and Vivian Jones keep the song’s message moving across eras. It’s a lean, recognisable roots framework with a heavy dubby feel, and the title track’s legacy makes it one of the more memorable Bunny Lee-linked riddims from that period.
