Duckie Simpson founded his first freedom group (Uhuru meansfreedom) in
1975, with little success. When the brilliant music doctors Sly And
Robbie became involved, Uhuru's fortunes changed. Most of the cuts on
this excellent collection areproduced by the dynamic duo, and it shows.
That they are such a crucial part of Black Uhuru is a testament to
their ability to change the shape and sound of everything they
touch.Overwhelmingly good are 'Happiness', 'Push Push' and 'WorldIs
Africa', but the most powerful song in the catalogue is 'Youth Of
Eglington'. They observed the troubled times of racial disharmony in
Brixton better than most.
