black uhuru the album

[DonBanyan]

thanks, the lp i heard in 1981 had the colourful flag on it, as does the cd i got for 4 quid recently. its exactly the same cuts too. hey, i never saw any of the above releases anywhere in the shops and i want to know why.can anyone shed any light upon this matter for me today??

maybe different distributors in different countries?

It's not the exact same albums. Their showcase album has been released in four different versions from what I know. One on D-Roy, one on Taxi (also Black Rose), one on Island and one on Heartbeat.

The taxi has longer mixes than the one on Island (with the Flag). And from what I've understood the track listings differ slightly from the D-Roy and the rest (a quick look on the R-A-page should reveal if it is so).

Emotional slaughter
so come lets start ya
It means let`s work on rectifying the emotional slaughter that society inflicts on us all, via work , via life, via racism, via everything wretched in society.Thats my opinion only.Any ideas?

I don't want to start a new thread for this, so i'll continue in this one...

I have "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" on Heartbeat CD.
I have an album called "Black Uhuru" on Virgin LP.
Both have the same songs, but different mixes.

I am greedy. I want ALL the possible mixes of this album.
Which ones do I still have to get? Probably the D-Roy LP? Or is this one the same as the Virgin? If not, are there besides the D-Roy are there even more with still another different mix?
Is the Taxi the same mix as the Virgin?
Questions, questions...

Thanks for any info.
