Ultimate Collection (2000) more music like this

by Black Uhuru

This generous compilation isn't really a career retrospective, since it focuses almost exclusively on Black Uhuru's years on the Island label. However, it does take several tracks from the group's Greensleeves and RAS catalog and a Joe Gibbs single version of "Rent Man." What it all boils down to is an overview of the trio when it consisted of ...

Brutal (1986) more music like this

by Black Uhuru

"Brutal," Black Uhuru sing on the album's title track, "the whole world is brutal." And so it must have seemed to Duckie Simpson and Puma Jones in 1985.

Reggae Fresh (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Usually a label compilation is precisely that, a CD where the label touts its talent. But here listeners have the rather unusual situation of a budget label paying tribute to another label entirely. Reggae Fresh is dedicated to RAS, the States' premier reggae label. Over the years, RAS has been home to some of Jamaica's most notable acts -- Black ...
