Legalize It/Equal Rights/Live In Boston 1976 - Peter Tosh

Advantages: Great if you love Bob Marley
Disadvantages: Some good songs absent

...Peter Tosh is probably best known as a founding member of 'The Wailers'. A typical Jamaican kid who dreamed of Reggae stardom and found sucess after meeting Bob Marley and the other founding members of the band. I'm not a huge expert on the man so if you want more details look else where, but I thought as noone else had done a review of him I should write something. This album is a collection of his solo work which never really charted that highly although he took part in a few big name tours. The album starts with a great cover of Chuck Berry's Johnny B Goode probably his most successful chart hit. After that follows the usual supply of anti-war and pro-cannabis songs. The man's quality shines throughout the album proving himself not just as an excellent singer/lyricist but also a talanted guitarist to boot.... Read review

Advantages: It's Peter Gabriel
Disadvantages: None come to mind

...Peter Gabriel 5 (So)… For those of you out there who don’t know who Peter Gabriel is here is a short history. He was born in London in 1950 on the thirteenth of February he started his musical career with the progressive rock band Genesis their first release was called “From Genesis to Revelations” in 1969, this album was produced by the now infamous Jonathan King and is the only album in their back catalogue that isn’t available form the bands website remember this album was made when all the band members had just left public school and had never played the music live so for all you followers of Genesis be warned, as I write this the collection is about to be re-issued by the label “Edsel” with a bonus disc of outtakes, for those of you lucky enough not to have heard this Gabriel’s...

Advantages: Useful for helping to teach yung children about musical instruments
Disadvantages: The story is a little bit grown up for some of the younger audiences.

...Sergei Prokofiev is a fantastic composer and this is one of his best works. Peter and the Wolf is a story about how a child disobeys his gandfathers advice, and has a rather scary encounter with a wolf. He is saved by some huntsmen and the story ends happily. Each of the characters has its own representative instrument from the orchestra. Peter, a young boy is represented by the strings, who have lots of tunes with excellent harmonies. Peter's grandfather, whom Peter ignores, is played by the bassoons, a personal favourite of mine as i myself play one. I think that the bassoon has been chosen to play the grand father because it has a sense of age, and, being a bass instrument, has a sense of authority and towards the end sternness for the disobedience of Peter. Throughout the tale there are animals. The cat is played by the clarinets... Read review
