2021 reissue - “Showcase” is the trio’s second album as “Black Uhuru”. By 1979, the band had called itself “Black Sound Uhro”, then “Uhuru”. For the ‘Showcase’ album, recorded at Channel One Studio, Sandra “Puma” Jones joins the group, now fronted by Michael Rose.
The album includes tracks recorded by Uhuru between 1975-1978, while they were backed by Joseph “Jo Jo” Hookim’s Studio One in-house band, The Revolutionaries, led by the now legendary duo, Sly & Robbie. The Revolutionaries were actually built around the riddim twins in 1975, marking the first Sly & Robbie collaborations in the studio.
