Pressure Drop: The Definitive Collection

Pressure Drop: The Definitive Collection is a 2005 compilation that presents Toots & The Maytals' work across ska, rocksteady, and reggae. It emphasizes Toots Hibbert's gritty, gospel-tinged lead vocals and the band's horn-led, rhythm-driven arrangements, with offbeat guitar skanks, prominent basslines and organ flourishes. The selection offers a concise overview of the group's blend of raw soul and Jamaican rhythmic styles and serves as an accessible summary of their importance to those genres.
