before they settled into a blander niche, ub40 were a mighty british reggae band with the avowed intention of bringing dub into the charts and the mainstream. how they succeeded! tyler, king, food for thought and burden of shame were heartfelt political statements of their time set to infectious grooves,weird echoey dubs and ali`s unique vocals. the standout track has to be "madam medusa" which is the finest anti-thatcher record ever(they encored with it at glastonbury 1983 a few days after the tories election victory, introducing it as more relevant than ever), almost 13 minutes long with one of the longest and most atmospheric dubs ever committed to record- simply outstanding and worth the price of the cd on it`s own. signing off is simply ...

Present Arms [CASSETTE]

by: UB40

Release Date March 10, 1992
Many (me included) regard UB40 as a formulaic, bland bunch of reggae sympathisers. They should (as I did) listen to this fantastic album.

Disregard the, frankly, rubbish covers which began with the awful, poppy, music for the masses Red Red Wine and indulge in an album totally of it's time.

Bass lines to die for, beats that will make you bite and reel you in and a two fingers attitude to be applauded even now.

Where on earth did it all go wrong?

UB40 were essential once. This is why. Buy this record.

The Very Best of UB40 - Limited [Vinyl] [VINYL]

by: UB40

Release Date November 13, 2000
It might not be roots, but UB40 has mellow pop reggae down to a T. This hit-packed compilation includes their early ska-based songs King and Food For Thought, plus all their later successes. Most of their biggest hits were covers of older classics, but they always did a good job in the interpretation. Red Red Wine, for example, is absolutely brilliant and the same can be said for Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby and I Got You Babe with Chrissie Hynde on guest vocal. I also love the humorous Rat In Mi Kitchen and their excellent interpretation of The Doors’ Light My Fire. Although not completely comprehensive, this compilation offers excellent value for money in that these tracks really were their greatest hits from a 20-year career. There’s ... Read More:
