Equal Rights is the second studio album by Peter Tosh. It was released in 1977 on Columbia Records.




Content


The song "Get Up, Stand Up", which was co-written by Bob Marley, was originally a single by Tosh's previous band, the Wailers, from their 1973 album Burnin'. "Downpressor Man" is a cover of "Sinner Man". "I Am that I Am" refers to a religious concept commonly referred to by that phrase.




Critical reception



The New York Times considered "Stepping Razor" one of the best songs of the year, calling it "infectious, urgent music, brilliant lyrics and an inherent sense of drama equal to the great punk anthems of the past."
