Guns In The Ghetto - UB40

Advantages: must for your collection
Disadvantages: listening to "Red Red Wine"

...I have followed UB40 since i first heard the single "Food for Thought" and i been a fan ever since. The best of UB40 is a brilliant Album and i think their best one. It has some great tracks on it especially all the early stuff, which in my opinion is when they were at there best.. It has singles on it like "King",....."1 in 10"....."Food for Thought",... ..."Rat in my kitchen"......"..."Dont Break my Heart" and "Red Red Wine" which is the only UB40 record i really dont like, i think they sold out a bit when they made that record. But saying that the lads from Brum are a top class act and if you are fan you got to have this Album in your collection. UB40 has a percussion section which is rare nowdays and the Cambell brothers have a very distictive vocals.... Read review

Advantages: Free service to job seekers and employers

The staff were now called Personal Advisors! And as a job seeker I was now called a client. The form you took along with you every week as ID was now called a JSAG (job seekers agreement) as opposed to a UB40 (unemployment benefit form 40).

...I am totally obsessed with UB40 and own nearly all of there albums, this being one of them, if you like reggae and rap this is definately for you. It has a mixture of all their original songs, like red wine and chrieo baby, all the songs are excellent some of them are of UB40 tunes with UB40 rapping over them, I know it sounds tacky but the way it is done is so good, you really need to listen to it, although if you do not own it you may have a job trying to get old of it as I do not think they are sold anymore. Again I can't rave enough about this tape I have even just put it on to listen to. Brings back some memories. One of the best is the song If it happens again with rapping over it.... Read review
