1	Universal Masters Collection (2001) more music like this by Black Uhuru If one wanted to distill the "classic" Black Uhuru canon down to a single disc, most fans would end up with a track listing that looks pretty similar to the one offered on Universal Masters Collection. The band's roots masterpieces are all here -- "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Sinsemilla," "Shine Eye Girl," "I Love King Selassie," "Youth of ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $5.48!
2	The Mighty Quinn (1989) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This soundtrack from the 1989 film contains commercial party music associated with the Caribbean. There is soca from Arrow and Seventeen Plus, reggae from Little Twitch and UB40, the New Orleans sound of the Neville Brothers, and special reggae songs produced specifically for the film. One of these, "(I'm) Hurting Inside," is performed on screen ... see all copies from $24.19!
3	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 ... see all copies from $6.84! new only from $12.86!
4	Be Yourself (1996) by Michael Rose Nothing could equal Niney Holness' incredibly hefty beats and dancehall sheen that swelled across Michael Rose's eponymous album, so the singer doesn't even try. Inevitably, then, the self-produced Be Yourself sounds lighter weight than its predecessor. Regardless though, this album is a better backdrop for the singer's vocal and lyrical talents, ... see all copies from $5.52! new only from $9.45!
5	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Black Uhuru (2002) more music like this by Black Uhuru 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 ... see all copies from $5.86! new only from $5.86!
6	Heartbeat Reggae [Heartbeat] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists When the still-young Rykodisc label began dipping its toes in the waters of reggae in the late '80s, it did so primarily by licensing compilations from other American indie labels like RAS, ROIR, and Heartbeat. This Heartbeat compilation is especially good. It demonstrates both the qualitative depth and the stylistic breadth of the label, with ... see all copies from $2.54! new only from $16.37!
7	Liberation: The Island Anthology (1993) more music like this by Black Uhuru During the band's heyday in the late '70s and early '80s, Black Uhuru was one of the most unique and influential reggae bands in the world. This was partly due to their distinctive vocal sound -- which was dominated by the keening wail of Michael Rose and the haunting harmonies of American expatriate Puma Jones -- but in large part it was also due ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $32.25!
8	Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1981) more music like this by Black Uhuru Generally acknowledged to be Black Uhuru's masterpiece as well as one of the defining documents of roots reggae, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (originally released on the Taxi label under the title Showcase) was the first album to feature singer Puma Jones as a member of the group's vocal trio lineup, and it was also their first with Sly Dunbar and ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $15.61!
9	The Reggae Box (2001) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard not to think that Hip-O's The Reggae Box will be the definitive word on the genre, not just because it spans four discs, but because Hip-O has open access to the Island vaults, and Island is to reggae as Sun is to rockabilly, meaning it's the defining force and leading light. With that as a base and with cross-licensing as a secret ... see all copies from $53.19! new only from $59.96!
10	Party in Session -- Live (1998) more music like this by Michael Rose It had been over a decade since Michael Rose had last performed in the States. Although the artist continued recording after his departure from Black Uhuru, none of his music was released in the U.S., and fans were thrilled when the first finally appeared in 1995, driven to distraction by his inclusion on the Heartbeat label's Culture Splash Tour ... see all copies from $14.77! new only from $14.77!

13 view cover	20 Greatest Hits (1991) more music like this by Black Uhuru Between 1980 and 1983, Black Uhuru became one of Jamaica's most successful reggae groups. In addition to such solid albums as Sinsemilla, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Red, and Chill Out, the combo also released the Grammy-winning Anthem. The golden formula can be credited not only to the arrival of prolific writer/lead singer Michael Rose and the ... see all copies from $8.01! new only from $10.44!
14 view cover	Tear It Up (1982) more music like this by Black Uhuru A strong live date, though an overly familiar selection. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.85!
15 view cover	Observation Station (1990) more music like this by Niney the Observer The golden touch of producer Winston "Niney" Holness is on vivid display throughout this compilation of rare and classic reggae sides from the '70s. Niney has worked with many of Jamaica's top male vocalists, including Michael Rose, represented by an early version of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (recorded in the '80s as a member of Black Uhuru ... see all copies from $8.19! new only from $9.75!
16 view cover	Reggae's Greatest Hits, Vol. 7 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The past will never die, as long as companies like Heartbeat continue to issue compilations such as this. Eighteen choice cuts produced by Niney the Observer (Winston Holness) at a variety of studios; various formations of the Soul Syndicate band provide backup. Amongst the artists are Junior Byles, Delroy Wilson, Niney, Michael Rose (with an ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.75!

18 view cover	Ultimate Collection: In Good Company (2001) more music like this by Sly & Robbie No rhythm section in history has impacted across the world's music scene as has Sly & Robbie. Their innovative playing style, studio experimentation, and pure production genius has propelled music to a whole new level, and their influence remains undiminished both in their homeland and abroad. In fact, it's virtually impossible to imagine modern ... see all copies from $14.44! new only from $14.44!
19 view cover	Roots Music, Vol. 2: Private Beach Party (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.79!
20 view cover	Live 84 (2000) more music like this by Black Uhuru The title can only be misleading, for if this were recorded in 1984, why did Black Uhuru not include a sole song from Anthem in their set? No "What Is Life," no "Bull in the Pen," nor even "Somebody's Watching You." Surely this album must have been recorded earlier, much earlier, for there's nothing from 1982's Chill Out either. So "Push Push" ... see all copies from $11.16! new only from $11.16!
21 view cover	Simply the Best Reggae Album [2003] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc, 44-track collection may not be the best reggae album ever issued, simply or otherwise, but it does have a pretty impressive artist roster, including early sides by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, the Paragons, Dennis Brown, Jimmy Cliff, the Melodians, Toots & the Maytals, Ken Boothe, and even dancehall-era stars like the late Garnett Silk. ... see all copies from $37.71! new only from $37.71!
