Black Uhuru – Sinsemilla $9.98 Black Uhuru: Michael Rose, Puma Jones, Derrick Simpson (vocals).Additional personnel: Rad "Duggie" Bryan, "Ranchie" MacLean (guitar); Jimmy Becker (harmonica); Ansell Collins (piano, organ); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Sly Dunbar (drums, electronic drums); "Sticky" Thompson (percussion).Recorded at Channel One Studio, Kingston, Jamaica, on January 26, 1980. Originally released on Mango (9593). Includes liner notes by David Katz.This is part of "Reggae Classics" series.Only a shade less great than 1981`s RED, 1980`s SINSEMILLA, Black Uhuru`s debut on Island Records, is still mightily impressive. Powered by the songwriting and distinctive, soulful tenor of Michael Rose, and sweetened by the harmonies of Derrick "Duckie" Simpson and Sandra "Puma" Jones (the use of the male/female vocal trio was the group`s defining characteristic), Black Uhuru combined roots reggae and hypnotic, almost futuristic grooves. Unlike many roots acts from the `60s and `70s, Black Uhuru wasn`t afraid to incorporate keyboard-generated sounds into the mix. Spacey synth accents join earthy rhythms and traditional Rasta themes–Black pride, spiritual uplift, the celebration of marijuana–in a way that is tied to reggae`s past, yet sounds totally fresh.But Black Uhuru`s real secret weapon is the presence of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, the legendary rhythm section/production duo. As instrumentalists, Sly and Robbie lend incessantly propulsive rhythms to SINSEMILLA, and their production–dark, complex, crisp, and psychedelic at once–is a revelation. Guitars, auxiliary percussion, and other instruments swim through the heady, swirling mix, while Rose, Simpson, and Jones sing passionately on "World Is Africa" and "Push Push," among others. This is a mesmerizing and deeply enduring album from one of reggae`s finest groups. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

Black Uhuru – Red $9.98 Black Uhuru: Michael Rose, Sandra "Puma" Jones, Derek "Duckie" Simpson (vocals).Additional personnel: Ranchie McLean, Mikey Chung, Dougie Bryan, Barry Reynolds (guitar); Robert "Robbie" Shakespeare (piano, bass); Robert Lyn, Keith Sterling (piano); Sly Dunbar (drums, elctronic drums); Sticky Thompson (percussion).Recorded at Channel One Studio, Kingston, Jamaica and Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas. Originally released on Mango (9625). Includes liner notes by David Katz.This is part of "Reggae Classics" series.Arguably Black Uhuru`s finest offering, RED was the band`s sophomore effort on Island`s Mango subsidiary, and crystallized their unique combination of contemporary sounds (including synthesizers and electronic drums), traditional roots reggae, and male/female trio vocals (with lead singer Michael Rose backed by Sandra "Puma" Jones, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson). For a sound centered primarily on rhythm grooves, Black Uhuru`s music is remarkably complex, and manages to sound both stripped down and fully fleshed out (there is a battery of interlocking instrumental parts at any given moment on the album).RED is greatly shaped by producers/rhythm section Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, though their production here is considerably cleaner and more streamlined than on RED`s predecessor, SINSEMILLA. (Assistance from executive producer Chris Blackwell–the man largely responsible for the crossover success of Bob Marley`s CATCH A FIRE–probably helped). Whether on the infectious bounce of "Sponji Reggae," or the trance-like "Sistren," RED is accessible but never poppy; it`s serious and challenging, yet given to bright irresistible grooves. Black Uhuru contends for the post-Marley reggae crown, and this album is possibly the best example of what they do. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

Black Uhuru – Ultimate Collection $13.84 Black Uhuru: Michael Rose (vocals); Robbie Shakespeare (piano, bass); Sly Dunbar (drums); Sandra "Puma" Jones, Derek "Duckie" Simpson, Errol Nelson (background vocals).Additional personnel includes: Junior Reid (vocals); Radcliffe "Dougie" Bryan, Bertram "Ranchie" McLean, Mikey "Mao" Chung, Barry Reynolds (guitar); Herman Marquis (alto saxophone); Tommy McCook (tenor saxophone); Vin Gordon (trombone); David Madden, Chico Chin, Dean Fraser, Ronald "Nambo" Robinson (horns); Ansel Collins (piano, organ); Robbie Lyn, Keith Sterling (piano); Tyrone Downie (organ); Franklin "Bubbler" Waul (keyboards); Wally Badarou (synthesizer); George Fullwood (bass); Carlton "Santa" Davis, Carlton Barrett (drums); Uziah "Sticky" Thompson, Ruddy Thomas, Sky Juice (percussion).Producers: Michael Rose, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare.Compilation producer: Dana G. Smart.Recorded at Channel One Studio, Harry J`s Recording Studio Joe Gibbs Studio Dynamic Sound Studios & King Tubby`s, Kingston, Jamaica; Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas; Includes liner notes by Dana G. Smart.Digitally mastered by Erick Labson.Personnel: Junior Reid, Michael Rose (vocals).Photographers: Lynn Goldsmith; Adrian Boot; Mike Prior; Jonnie Black; Tommy Noonan.Part of Universal/Hip-O`s series of classic reggae anthologies, Black Uhuru`s ULTIMATE COLLECTION comes closer than some to living up to such a daunting title. Almost all of these 17 tracks come from Black Uhuru`s classic late `70s/early `80s lineup featuring vocalists Michael Rose and the late Sandra "Puma" Jones, two of the finest singers in reggae history. (Indeed, there are those who feel that Rose`s piercing tenor is up there with Marvin Gaye`s and Sam Cooke`s as one of the greatest male voices in pop.)Powered by the legendary production team/rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, Black Uhuru pulled off the tricky feat of making reggae records which appealed to pop and rock fans without sounding like watered-down sell-out attempts. All of the classics, from the ganja-praising "Sinsemilla" to the religious politics of "I Love King Selassie" and "World Is Africa," are present and accounted for. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.

Black Uhuru – The Dub Factor $9.98 Black Uhuru: Michael Rose, Duckie Simpson, Puma Jones (vocals).Additional personnel: Ranchie McLean, Radcliffe "Dougie" Bryan, Mikey Chung, Barry Reynolds (guitar); Ansell Collins, Robbie Lyn, Keith Stirling (piano); Wally Badarou (synthesizer, vocoder); Robbie Shakespeare (bass); Sly Dunbar (drums, electronic drums); Sky Juice, Sticky Johnson (percussion).Recorded at Channel One Studio, Kingston, Jamaica and Compass Point Studio, Nassau, Bahamas in 1983. Originally released on Mango (9758). Includes liner notes by David Katz.This is part of Mango`s "Reggae Classics" series.Since Black Uhuru is, with the possible exception of the original Wailers, the most famous vocal group in reggae history, a full dub album might seem an odd career choice. But 1983`s THE DUB FACTOR is one of the decade`s finest dub efforts. With classic reggae voices like those of Michael Rose and Puma Jones at hand, it`s no wonder producers/bandleaders Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare use more vocals than are common in dub.The vocals are treated as accents, or processed beyond recognition (as on the wild "Android Rebellion"). This leaves the focus squarely on Sly and Robbie`s staggering bass/drum interplay and on the inventive keyboards of Wally Badarou. His unique synthesizer style has been so widely used and imitated that, by decade`s end, it was almost a cliche. THE DUB FACTOR, however, remains as fresh and exciting as it sounded the year of its release. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

Black Uhuru with Sly and Robbie-Dubbin It Live $9.99 In July 2001, Black Uhuru and Sly & Robbie took Europe by storm. This 1 hour, 20 minute DVD contains the unedited, uncut, entire concert they gave in Nyon, Switzerland, where they closed the Paleo Festival. Through the late 80′s and 90′s, Sly & Robbie revolutionized Jamaican music by turning Reggae into Dancehall. They chose to reunite with Black Uhuru, whom they had helped become a leading force in the Reggae industry in the late 70′s, early 80′s. Black Uhuru’s harder, more urgent sound proved to be an ideal vehicle for Sly & Robbie’s creativity and greatly benefited from the Riddim Twins’ desire to push the boundaries of Jamaican music in new and unheard of directions. |

Black Uhuru – Guess Who`s Is Coming To Dinner $15.85 Black Uhuru: Michael Rose, Puma Jones, Duckie Simpson.Additional personnel: Radcliff "Dougie" Bryan (guitar); Keith Sterling, Winston Wright (organ).Producers: Delroy Witter, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare.Personnel: Radcliffe Bryan, Robbie Shakespeare (guitar); Keith Sterling, Winston Wright (organ); Sly Dunbar (drums).Audio Mixers: Robbie Shakespeare; Sly Dunbar.Photographer: Deborah Feingold.Unknown Contributor Roles: Duckie Simpson; Puma Jones; Michael Rose.This collection of mid-to-late-`70s singles has been issued under a couple of other names (SHOWCASE and BLACK UHURU), but under any title, it`s simply essential. This early material is prime `70s reggae. Unlike a lot of Jamaican reggae artists, Black Uhuru were able to integrate an upfront American R&B element–thanks largely due to the Al Green-style lead vocals of Michael Rose, supported by South Carolina-born backing vocalist Sheila "Puma" Jones–into their music, which makes the group more accessible to rock and pop fans new to reggae.Tracks like "Guess Who`s Coming To Dinner" and the wide-eyed "Shine Eye Gal" are immediately appealing to the reggae novice, which makes tougher-sounding and more challenging material like the plainspoken "Abortion" and "General Penitentiary" easier to get a handle on. This seven-track set is brief, but it`s a perfect introduction to one of reggae`s best bands. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Black Uhuru $9.98 A reasonable if abbreviated summation of one of the most popular reggae bands of the ’80s, this bargain-priced, 11-track collection is nonetheless a compelling listening. It covers the highlights of their four studio Island albums, adding the “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” B-side of the “Sinsemilla” 12″. Uhuru was helmed on these tracks by the producer/rhythm section of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. Their crisp rhythms, rugged playing, memorable riffs, and intricate studio touches like the chiming glockenspiel on the chorus of “Sponji Reggae” nearly burst out of the speakers. Although backing vocalists Puma Jones and Duckie Simpson provide minor supporting roles next to Michael Rose’s distinctive leads, the music’s gripping melodies, vocal harmonies, and cracking backbeat gave Black Uhuru a unique identity. They never duplicated the formula after winning the first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 1985 and subsequently left Island. The remastered audio on this collection is stunning. It reveals subtle sounds that had been previously hidden and adds a confident presence. The song’s shorter versions are used, resulting in a more dynamic listening experience as opposed to the double-disc Liberation, which featured extended mixes. The absence of “Shine Eye Gal” from the Tear It Up live album makes this only slightly less comprehensive than it could have been as a compilation of Black Uhuru’s most important years. ~ Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide |

Sizzla – Black Woman & Child $11.98 Personnel: Sizzla (vocals); E. Wilks, D. Browne (guitar); D. Fraser, (saxophone, background vocals); Saxie (saxophone); Nambo (trombone); P. Enton (piano, keyboards, bass, drums); B. Ohare, Jazzwad (keyboards, bass, drums); D. Dennis, B. Myers (keyboards, bass); P. Crossdale (keyboards); Robert Shakespeare (bass); M. Miller, Sly Dunbar, Paul (drums); Bongo Herman, Dish (congas); M. Gitten, D. Browne (background vocals).Producers: Bobby Digital Dixon, The Crew For Digital B Music LTD.Recorded at Digital B Studio, Kingston, Jamaica.Whether accounts of his outspoken, controversial sociopolitical pronouncements are exaggeration or even pure rumor, they perfectly encapsulate the quality that has made Sizzla such a sensation in the Jamaican dancehall. His is an uncompromising millenarian vision more akin to the urgent roots style made famous by Burning Spear, Black Uhuru and Bob Marley than any of his deejay contemporaries. BLACK WOMAN & CHILD is compiled and produced by the original Bobby Digital, (the Jamaican producer who oversaw Buju`s re-birth as a conscious deejay on TIL SHILOH, not RZA`s alter ego). More than any other album, it represents the style and the songs which assured Sizzla his cult status among devotees of "conscious" music. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.

A Man and His Music, Vol. 3: Hits Style $11.98 The third volume devoted to the productions of King Jammy brings us to the recent past. Jammy’s continuing deployment of the synthesizer had become so dominant that by the mid-’70s, horns were almost absent from reggae sessions. That didn’t mean that the vocals lost their soulfulness, however; such singers as Johnnie Osbourne, Delroy Wilson, and John Holt, as well as groups like Black Uhuru and Dennis Brown, included the same zeal and fiery demeanor within the new backing as they had during the old days. At the same time, youthful performers like Half Pint and Cocoa Tea took a faster, more exuberant and contemporary approach in their songs. The 15 cuts on this disc show how Jammy accomodated both modern desires and veteran performance tendencies. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide |

Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1 $7.98 Rebound’s Reggae Dance Party, Vol. 1 may play a little fast and loose with the term “reggae” — Blondie’s “The Tide Is High” is a reggae song done pop, Billy Ocean’s “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)” is a pop song pure and simple — but it nevertheless is a very entertaining record that’s perfect for a party, thanks to such songs as the Melodians’ “Rivers of Babylon,” Peter Tosh’s “No Sympathy,” Robert Palmer’s “Pressure Drop,” Jimmy Cliff’s “Many Rivers to Cross,” Ziggy Marley’s “Tomorrow People,” Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now,” Third World’s “96 in the Shade” and, on the CD (not the cassette), Bobby Bloom’s “Montego Bay” and Black Uhuru’s “Right Stuff.” ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Rockamovya – Rockamovya [6/17] $16.98 Rockamovya: Will Bernard (guitar); Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace (drums).A collaborative project between members of the reggae outfit Groundation, drummer Leroy Wallace, and jazz guitarist Will Bernard, Rockamovya traffics in dub, roots rock, ska, and subtle touches of jazz, funk, and pop (which blend surprisingly well with a reggae palette). At times reminiscent of Burning Spear or Black Uhuru, but with Bernard`s guitar pulling the music into the 21st century, Rockamovya mix things up on cuts like "Take the Night" and "Brown Fish Stew," but never stray too far from their Jamaican roots. A modern, gently experimental take on deep roots reggae, Rockamovya should please reggae fans of many stripes. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |

Rootz Underground – Movement [3/4] $15.82 Rootz Underground: Jeffrey Moss Solomon (vocals, guitar); Paul "Scooby" Smith (vocals, organ, keyboards); Stephen Newland (vocals); Charles Lazarus (guitar); Colin Young (bass guitar); Leon Alexander Campbell Jr. (drums).A blind listening test to the debut album from the Kingston, Jamaica, outfit Rootz Underground might leave listeners guessing that the disc was recorded in the early 1980s. MOVEMENT was actually released in 2008, but its style–pure roots rock reggae–recalls the crisp sound of second wave roots bands like Steel Pulse and Black Uhuru. Yet Rootz Underground isn`t merely a retro outfit; their updated take on classic Rasta grooves is vital and refreshing. Dense, percolating beds of rhythm, sweet guitar and keys, and touches of psychedelic production make MOVEMENT a deep and welcome listen. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
