RIP Toots Hibbert
FUCK!!! This hurts!!! I really don't get upset at old musicians dying but legit emotional here. I play his music every evening when I bathe my baby, it's his bedtime music. Fuck, I just wanted him to live forever. He toured like hundreds of dates a year for like 60 years. He invented the word "REGGAE" ffs. I believe in JA for some years Toots and the Maytals were bigger than Bob.
the only guy I've ever seen who rivals James Brown live
full show
great album
whatever y'all know the deal he doesn't miss

RIP Toots!
I had no idea those compilations go for that amount. They were 4.99 for ages, I remember.
But I can relate to passing on Toots records as the big hits were all included in so many staple Reggae compilations anyway that I rather spent my teenage money on the latest dancehall...
^^ yeah they go for a good amount here on the East Coast of Canada, but that depends on where you find them...i bought about 15 of those albums from a Radio Station (Q104) that was selling off their records, i paid $1 for all of the ones i got that day, i bought 2 more "Reggae Greats" albums from a record fair last year and they were about $15 each. Taz Records (one of the the local record joints) had the Toots copy for $20, they usually dont mess with prices "whats listed is whats listed" basically, but i even tried to get $5 off just on the strength of "them seeing me there frequently" but dude didnt budge...
