Prisoner is widely regarded as Lucky Dube's greatest album, with its powerful socially-conscious songs such as "War and Crime" and "Prisoner" and inspirational songs such as "Jah Live" and "Remember Me" all held together by Lucky's Peter Tosh-style vocals.

This special 60th Anniversary Edition LP features the artwork of the original South African release, includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks and has a special insert with complete song lyrics and rare photos of Lucky.
