Product Description

CD Description
Recording primarily at Jamaica's Kuff Studios, UB40 used the surrounding island as a muse in lending their friendly pop/reggae sound a grittier edge. A heavy dub vibe permeates "Always There" while "Hurry Come Up" uses a rapid, lo-fi rhythm track to lend a dance-hall flavour. A small Jamaican town that's remained unchanged for 200 years inspired "OracabessaMoonshine" while the title track came about after listeningto the anti-gun campaign of an Ochos Rios radio station. Although UB40 strays into more eclectic territory this time around, GUNS IN THE GHETTO also reflects the band's crossover sensibilities. This comes across particularly on the lush ragga-ballad "Lisa" and the retro, Lisa Stansfield-sounding "IReally Can't Say".

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly underated album, 21 Jun 2003

By	John Bridgeman (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amongst the hardcore UB fans this probably ranks as one of their greatest albums (and the most underated), yet the album recieved little public attention and the two singles released from the album did only modestly in the charts. Don't let this put you off buying the album, it has a refreshing uplifting feel about it and some cultural lyrics in 'Guns in the ghetto' probably one of the best songs they have written. 'Always there' is another UB classic as well as 'I love it when you smile' and 'Lisa'. My fave UB album, one I never get tired of hearing. The dancehall album which followed its release features Jamaicas finest riding the riddims off this album and complements this album well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic UB40, 25 Jun 2001

By	blowfeldsucks@hotmail.com (England) - See all my reviews

After a spell of only average albums UB40 are back on track with this excellent outing. The tracks still have a slightly more 'pop' feel, but they have also recaptured the earlier dub sound that made them great in the first place. For fans of the band this is kind of a cross between 'Labour of love' & 'Present arms'. Great to see them back on the reggae saddle.
