Black Uhuru can claim big things in reggae history. Winners of the first Grammy Award for best reggae album (for Anthem), Black Uhuru took Bob Marley's punching rhythms and hardened them further, thanks to the duo of bassist Robbie Shakespeare and drummer Sly Dunbar. Singer Michael Rose also had a raggy voice, which was coarse and impassioned like Marley's--and had a great alter ego in vocalist Sandra "Puma" Jones. This generous 77-minute set of classic Uhuru includes the major points: "I Love King Selassie," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "Utterance," "Youth of Eglington." The melodic flow and harmony-vocal crosscut of the lattermost tune stood far and away above so much reggae of the era with an adroit mix of old-school rootsiness and creative expression. Alas, the lineup that cut the tune would break apart gradually, first with the 1984 departure of Rose (replaced by Junior Reed), and then in 1986 with the departure of Jones--who succumbed to cancer in 1990. The vast majority of these 17 tracks, though, come from the Rose/Island Records era, and for that, the collection indeed amounts to "ultimate" as its title claims. --Andrew Bartlett

I purchased this album strickly for "Guess Who's Comming To Dinner." However, upon hearing it in its entirety, I was impressed with the quality sound that these artists have developed. The lead singer and background vocals are awsome, and the music is spine tingling. This is a CD that makes for good listening. Put it on and just mellow out, yah no? "Guess Who" seems to be the signature song on this one for me, but you'll find the other songs interesting too. Black Uhuru has definitely joined the ... Read More

This is a solid, one-disk compilation, but the "ultimate" title goes to the 1993 release "Liberation," a two-disk set that contains the original versions of the songs on the trio of Michael Rose-Puma Jones-Duckie Simpson's last album together as Black Uhuru, "Anthem." The album version was a poorly remixed affair, with most, if not all, the horns removed, and stripped down into a commercial mess and bad editing.
This compilation gets three stars because it's Black Uhuru, and a step above the ... Read More

There are not many CDs that I can let play without skipping through some songs. This one however is one that I love every song on. It's great!

Black Uhuru have got to be the best reggae group ever. I have most of their albums but couldn't resist buying this collection. It has my absolute favorite track "Endurance". Overall a pretty good choice of tracks to represent Black Uhuru at their finest, but why include the Junior Reid tracks, "Dread in the Mountain" and "Brutal"? They stick out a mile, Black Uhuru was Michael Rose as far as I'm concerned, Reid's voice sounds weak next to Rose. Sly & Robbie have never bettered the work they ... Read More
