Description: It's hard to believe that UB40 have been around since the early 1980s, but the proof is right here in the 18 tracks on this album. While most famous for their cover songs, UB40 have written a good portion of original material that's excellent. But songs like "Red Red Wine" and a previously unreleased version of the Doors' "Light My Fire" will attract the majority of listeners to this collection. Following in the footsteps of greats like Bob Marley and Burning Spear, this band from Birmingham, England (led by the two sons of folkie Ian Campbell, have helped keep the flame of roots reggae alive with their easy sound. They've even made over rock standards into their reggae template, including Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" (with guest Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders). In their own little way, UB40 have been gnawing away at musical barriers for the last 20 years, and this is an ideal summary of their achievements. --Chris Nickson

Reviews:

A REALLY GREAT COLLECTION

I just got my cd today. Spent hours listening to it, remembering when I first heard UB40, many years ago, very sweet memories. "Don't break my heart" and "Food for Thought", some of my favourites. Love UB40, would like to see a DVD, that would be fantastic!

where is

where is "Where Did I Go Wrong?" one of there very best songs, and "Breakfast In Bed" is great too. So not quite the best.

Yeah, I loves me da rasta!!

I'm a total reggae fan. I got into Bob Marley in college and acted like I've like him since I was five. That's how you do reggae. Clearly, the best and most influential reggae group of all time is UB40. I don't know if they wrote a hit song by themselves, but they are the greatest reggae rasta out there. Red, Red wine is waaaaayyyyy better than anything that inner circle or Chaka Demis has ever done. I think Bob Marley sounds like a poser compared to UB40. Now Ziggy Marley, that's reggae that didn't sell out like Bob. UB40 blows them both out of the water with original songs like "I got U babe" and "Can't help falling in love". I formed a reggae band after hearing Red, Red Wine. We were called UB39 and featured Kroll on Bongos, Burns on keyboards, J Abs as our screaming guy like the punk bands have now, The Nook on lead vocals and bass and Meat on Accordian. We dressed in the most rasta gear. I wore a ten gallon hat, hip waders and body armor, Kroll wore a Tito Landrum throwback jersey with cut off jean shorts and flippers, J Abs wore the K-st mascot head with a leotard and choose your weapon magic johnson Converse, Burns wore a clown suit with an astronaut helmet and Meat wore a houston astros hat with the poland flag draped around him. We put on a great stage show with covers and originals like, "Ya Mon" and "We Rasta Nation" and "White kid Reggae ya mon". Our influence is still being felt by your wife.
