Description: DRLS 5002 identifies the Dragon/Island Records U.K. release of Funky Kingston by Toots & the Maytals. Issued in 1973, this pressing was instrumental in introducing reggae to British audiences during a time when Jamaican music was beginning to influence rock and punk circles. Toots Hibbert’s role in popularizing the term “reggae” itself adds to the historical weight, and this album remains a key cultural bridge between Jamaica and the international music scene.
