The Maytals album that helped bring reggae to a wider international audience without losing its Jamaican roots. Built on Toots Hibbert’s raw, soulful voice and the group’s tight, propulsive arrangements, it balances street-level grit with melodic immediacy. The album’s blend of roots reggae, reggae-pop and funk-tinged energy made it one of the group’s defining statements, with songs such as Pressure Drop, Time Tough and the title track becoming enduring favourites. Its influence reaches well beyond reggae, marking the point where the band’s sound became a global reference point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reggae-vinyl-records\"\u003eReggae\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Toots \u0026amp; The Maytals\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/island-records-record-label\"\u003eIsland Records\u003c\/a\u003e – ILPS 9330\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1975\"\u003e1975\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reggae-vinyl-records\"\u003eReggae\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rocksteady\"\u003eRocksteady\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roots-reggae\"\u003eRoots Reggae\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ska\"\u003eSka\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Time+Tough\"\u003eTime Tough\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+In+The+Dark\"\u003eIn The Dark\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Funky+Kingston\"\u003eFunky Kingston\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Love+Is+Gonna+Let+Me+Down\"\u003eLove Is Gonna Let Me Down\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Louie+Louie\"\u003eLouie Louie\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Pomp+And+Pride\"\u003ePomp And Pride\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Got+To+Be+There\"\u003eGot To Be There\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Country+Road\"\u003eCountry Road\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Pressure+Drop\"\u003ePressure Drop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Toots+\u0026amp;+The+Maytals+Sail+On\"\u003eSail On\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Island Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44375470407745,"sku":"9373726","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/LmpwZWc_2k2fWdI.jpg?v=1786434491"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/toots-the-maytals-vinyl-records.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
