Run for cover - Intelligent Diplomat - The site dedicated to Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer (1402 words)
Out of the 61 songs that found their way onto an album, 18 were re-workings of older songs, this is a staggering number and equates to almost a third of all Peter's albums containing remakes of old songs, many of which were unnecessary in my opinion.
The song was then demo'd by the Wailers for consideration for inclusion on the 'Burnin' album, the song never made the album (though was recently included on the 2001 re-mastered Burnin release) and so Peter decided to return to this for his fist solo album.
This is a real shame as the album is otherwise faultless, without question one of Peter's finest albums and showing his talents as a song writer.
