"Tedious" probably the best blazed-with-headphones-on tracks ever.
Curtis Mayfield down a notch and up a key.
I am so glad he and Scratch met each other.

First reggae record to hit me hard. Roots train number one. So classic.

Ugh, that song is GREAT!

Oh man, "Tedious" is one of my perennial classics. The rest of that album's wonderful and all but "Tedious" is just beaming in from another planet.

This makes me sad.
Love 'Police & Thieves' so much.

yeah I'm listening thru most of the full LPs that Scratch produced (up til he burned down Black Ark); haven't made it up to P&T yet, but I'd heard it before and it is mega-classic
