Singles

[edit]

This list of singles is not in chronological order due to a lack of information and because many Jamaican releases did not have catalogue numbers. All singles refer to the Jamaican releases unless otherwise noted. This first table features solely singles where both sides are by Toots & the Maytals. The second table comprises split singles featuring the group, as there have been numerous releases of this sort. The final third table is solo singles by lead singer Toots Hibbert.
