At the height of Black Uhurus international success in 1981, Jammy set about remixing the album and renaming it Black Sounds Of Freedom. It was released on Greensleeves Records and reached a much wider audience the second time around. Set to be re-released on October 6th, this deluxe double CD features Black Sounds of Freedom and Love Crisis in its original form. Also included are King Of All Time, Crocodile Style, Love Your Girl and Ride Into Zion which is the DJ 12 mix to African Love. The fourdeejay versions are from legendary Waterhouse mic man U Black. These rare cuts were originally released on the album West Bound Swing A Thing. Black Sounds Of Freedom showcases the early talents of one of the most influential vocal groups to ever come out of Jamaica.
