Advantages: must for your collection Disadvantages: listening to "Red Red Wine"
...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 ...
Advantages: Excellent covers of some old reggae standrads Disadvantages: Sometimes a bit too slick
...it must have been a labour of love can be heard in the loving way the songs are crafted and every track reproduces the excellence of the original. As a lover of real reggae I do have to make one minor criticism and that is that the album is too good. There is far more added production and professionalism to Labour Of Love. The original Jamaican reggae artists of the 1960s were usually poor and often recorded their songs on old second hand recording ... ...limited time available in the recording studios so the songs were often recorded in one take and were little better than demo tracks. What they lacked in production excellence they more than made up for in the immediacy and the urgency of the presentation. So where the old originals will regularly feature bum notes and missed intros the remakes by UB40 are clean and slick.
The album opens with the Eric Donaldson song Cherry Oh Baby which UB40 released ...
Advantages: ultimate listening bliss Disadvantages: nope cant think of one
After the original labour of love, could the UB's possibly bring out a second that was any good?
Too right they could, this is as good if not better than the original.
Again this album has no bad tracks they are all great.
Even if you hate reggae this is excellent.
They bring reggae to a generation of people who wouldn't normally listen to it.
These as in the first labour of love, are some of the UB's all time fav reggae tracks by the artists ... ...Ali's unique voice is so haunting I love it.
tracks in my fav order are
the way you do things you do
homely girl
kingston town
wear you to the ball
groovin
impossible love
wedding day
baby
stick by me
just another girl
here i am (come take me)
tears from my eyes sweet cherrie
singer man Listening at home or in the car, you just cant help singing or humming along to them, they are catchy, and you know you have heard some of them before, ...
Advantages: chill out music Disadvantages: not alot of songs on the album
Where have UB40 gone? I still hear them on the radio and still like humming away to the tune ‘If this happens again’.
However, I don’t leave all the time, (you’ll know what I’m talking about if you listen to the song!)
They had many hits in their day, I say ‘their day’ because I haven’t heard any new releases from them in a long while. Do you remember ‘Homely Girl’?
If you like reggae music and keen on chilling out with your drink, UB40 could ...
