Well supported

"Pressure Drop" is a 1969 song by Toots and the Maytals, associated with the Trojan Records catalogue, that became a reggae standard through its own popularity and its inclusion on "The Harder They Come" soundtrack; it has since been covered by artists well outside reggae, including the Clash and Robert Palmer.

Official audio is still discovery-only

Official YouTube or label uploads help discovery and verification, but the atlas should store only references and never re-host copyrighted audio or video.
