Biography

UB40 have spent the last few years doing what many bands in such an exalted position would do. Having sold 50 million albums and become global superstars, they have spread their wings and diversified.

They have collaborated with Jamaica's dancehall legends and worked with the fathers of reggae. In 2003, they even recorded Swing Low, the anthem for the England rugby team's triumphant World Cup… Read more in Amazon's UB40 Store

awesome album 12 May 2007
Format:Audio CD
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 one of the finest reggae albums ever made,totally unique and never bettered- buy it.

UB40 at their best 28 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is my favourite UB40 album, it sounds as though they're playing in your living room, very rootsy and Earl on Bass in pumping it very loudly. I truely believe that this album ranks alongside all-time reggae classics from Marley, Dennis Brown. This album opened up the way for a lot of artists in the UK to follow suite. Ali's voice sounds excellent and the band as a whole sound raw and full of genuine energy. There are so many highlights on this album (every instrumental for instance), but if I was forced to pick just one, it would have to be the fantastic King - a moving tribute to Martin Luthur King.

By doublegone TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
The first album, complete with the contents of the free ep record that was slipped in with the original LP.

A reminder of what a great band this was before it became the Reggae equivalent of Status Quo.

Fabulous songs beautifully presented. All that lush saxaphone riffing and passion.

A mighty rhythm machine. The only UB40 album you need.

I listened to this album when I was in my early teens, it opened my eyes to a whole different genre of music. I only ever bought this on cassette tape. Read more

Their Finest LP

A masterpiece
This is a masterpiece of a recording and an important milestone in the history of British music. UB40's best album. Their later output is very bland by comparison.

There is a lot of criticism, not entirely justified, that UB40 became the reggae band for people who don't like reggae. Read more
