Welcome Home

Their 1975 album, issued in the US on Island and reissued as Uhuru.
Osibisa, 1975

Ashley Howe engineered it at Roundhouse Recording Studios, and Ian Emes painted the cover. The line-up included Osei on African drums, flute, saxophones and vocals, Kiki Gyan on clavinet, keyboards, piano and vocals, Richardson on guitar and lead vocals, Mike Odumosu on bass, Tontoh on trumpet and flugelhorn and Amarfio on drums. Richardson says he returned in 1975 and joined the sessions that produced hits on Welcome Home and Ojah Awake. It reached 200 on the Billboard 200 and 75 in Australia, and was reissued on CD in 1992 as Uhuru and in 1997 on Red Steel with the "Sunshine Day" single edit (3:13).
