Product Description
CD Description
UB40's first album of original songs since the all-covers set LABOUR OF LOVE dramatically increased their US profile, 1984's GEFFERY MORGAN finds the band moving further into the slick pop-reggae direction of "Red, Red Wine". (The record'stitle comes from graffiti in the group's Birmingham, England neighborhood that read "Geffery Morgan loves white girls".) The band's political bent is soft-pedaled in favour of romantic "lover's rock" tunes like "If It Happens Again" and the dance-pop track "Nkomo A Go Go". Cleverly, the most socially conscious lyrics on the album, the anti-Thatcher diatribe"As Always You Were Wrong Again" and the taunting "Riddle Me", are couched in the catchiest and most melodic tunes. Incorporating more electronic percussion and synthesizers into the group's formerly rootsy sound both aligns GEFFERY MORGANwith the sound of the UK Top 40 and keeps up with the rapidchanges that were beginning to overtake reggae itself. The transformation evident here would soon morph into the electronic sound known as "dancehall".
