Two standards that define the backbone of reggae
The sharpness of the phrases and the driving force of the call and response make this a powerful double A-side that shows the core of early reggae.
The repetitive riff in "54-46~" is iconic, with a pulling force that propels the body forward in one hit. The swaying strokes and interjections of the horns in "Pressure Drop" add to the pleasure, and the song's endearing quality ensures its universal appeal. This is a great pairing that lets you experience the dynamism of reggae in a straightforward way with these two songs.
