Limited gold colored vinyl LP pressing. Police & Thieves is a Roots Reggae classic by Junior Murvin originally released in 1977 which was produced by Lee “”Scratch”” Perry (who also wrote or co-wrote many of the songs) at his legendary Black Ark Studios with The Upsetters. The title song was memorably covered by The Clash in a very different arrangement than Murvin”s. Perry”s imaginative and groundbreaking production surrounded Junior”s falsetto vocals and the musicians in a dense, echo heavy, spaced out sound to create one of the great songs, and albums, of the roots era.
