Police & Thieves

Police & Thieves is a 1977 roots reggae album by Junior Murvin, anchored by the title track produced by Lee 'Scratch' Perry. The record pairs Murvin's high, plaintive falsetto with spare, steady reggae rhythms and echo-heavy production touches, delivering socially conscious lyrics about street violence and policing. Its sound blends traditional reggae grooves with dub-influenced studio effects that highlight Perry's production style.
