In 1987, just as their second UK album Tsvimbodzemoto was released by Elias, on the Discafrique label, The Bhundu Boys broke their contract with Shed Studios and signed to Warner Bros. Their first album True Jit, produced by Robin Millar was considered too far a jump in style from their original recordings and was unfavourably received.
